Lockout/TagoutLockout/Tagout
•Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) is an
integral component of any
confined space
management
program.

•Confined space entry
procedures and LOTO are not
simply OSHA and DILHR
mandated work rules, but are
part of an effective safety/risk


management program.

Checking the 'key-box' and LOTO
procedures posted adjacent to the
worksite at Boiler #1 in the Heat Plant

US&A (v. 2/07)
NoiseNoise
•Noise can be amplified
because of the design
or acoustic properties
of a confined space.
Excessive noise can
permanently damage
hearing as well as
affect communications
regarding work
performed or warnings.

US&A (v. 2/07)
Other Atmospheric ConditionsOther Atmospheric Conditions
•While not an air
contaminant, high
temperatures and
high humidity can
make work
uncomfortable in
some locations such
as steam pits

US&A (v. 2/07)
Falling ObjectsFalling Objects
•Workers in
confined spaces
should be aware
of the potential for
falling objects.
• In particular,
hazards are
prevalent in
spaces that have
topside openings
for entry and
where work is
being done above
the worker.

•These include
claustrophobia or other
problems associated
with being in a dark,
cramped or isolated
space.
•Such hazards can be
magnified by a worker’s
physical condition.
•A person in poor
physical condition may
become easily fatigued.

•If using a portable generator to
power blower, make sure
exhaust from generator is
positioned downward from the
confined space
•If using an extension cord to

•When opening is in a
public walkway, ADA
compliant barricades must
be set up to protect the
pedestrian traffic from all
directions.
•Barricades must be lit
during hours of darkness.
•When out of pedestrian
traffic and sidewalks,
tripod and attendant
should be sufficient to
protect public from
confined space openings.

that the tripod
will stand at
least 8’ above

following:following:
•Know space hazards including information on the mode of
exposure, signs or symptoms and consequences of exposure
•Verify emergency plans and specified entry conditions such as
permits, tests, procedures and equipment before allowing entry
•Terminate entry and cancel permits when entry operations are

911. Relay your
location, the nature of
the incident and
emphasize the incident
