WORK IN CONFINED SPACES AND/OR POSSIBLY CONTAMINATED SPACES

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS In order to identify the necessary measures to ensure the safety of workers, a proper assessment of the risks related to the activities to be carried out should be made. For operations within confined spaces, this involves identifying the hazards present, the risk assessment and the identification of the precautionary measures to be taken. As of 23/11/2011, there is a regulation containing rules for certifying companies and independent workers to operate in "confined spaces or possibly contaminated spaces". The Italian Presidential Decree provides general guidelines for a genuine strategy to combat accidents occurring in these environments, relative to which the preparation of best practices intended to guide workers is an integral and fundamental step.

For a correct assessment, consider: • the type of activity; • the type of work environment; • the materials and equipment to be used and suitable PPE;

• the suitability of employees; • the solutions to be adopted for emergency response.
