Confined space entry is one of the most dangerous jobs that takes place during any turnaround or shutdown. Keeping personnel safe while working inside confined spaces without delaying projects and increasing costs is one of the most challenging tasks during these intense and vital activities.
Due to the importance of activities and risks associated with confined space entry, utilizing modern technology to deliver comprehensive visibility of the entire process is the most safe, timely, and cost-effective way to manage your confined space procedures.
One significant advantage that modern and innovative technology delivers to confined space management is the ability to view real-time data from the confined space and the individual workers inside. There are numerous confined space monitoring technologies on the market today, but most require numerous pieces of large, invasive and expensive infrastructure that takes multiple people and potentially days to setup. Many of the solutions offered today provide real-time gas monitoring, video and the ability to communicate through a speaker placed outside the confined space, but they lack the flexibility to rapidly move from one job to the next and the connectivity capability to keep workers connected. The lack of portability can cause potential time delays due to the installation and removal of the cumbersome equipment required to perform the necessary functions. With the innovative technology, we have access to today, there are numerous approaches to take to efficiently meet the required OSHA standards and basic principles.
