Is the space being reviewed based on inherent risk? E.g the equipment has not been isolated prior to the review Note: if NO assessment cannot continue

This assessment must only be conducted based on inherent risk. If this can not be done seek advice from C5 Champion or HS department.

Is the space intended or designed primarily for other than human occupancy?

This is NOT classified as a confined space - Progress to section 2 to complete audit

If this space is not designed for a person to inhabit under operating conditions please answer YES Most enclosed or partially enclosed spaces are intended or designed as primary for human occupancy, e.g. offices and workshops where adequate ventilation and lighting, safe means of access and egress, etc are provided. From time to time they may have atmospheric hazards produced by task related such as welding. Such tasks are not covered by this standard, and other safety systems apply.

Q1.A Does the space have an oxygen concentration outside the safe oxygen range?

This is classified as a confined space - Progress to section 2 to complete audit

E.g Is it reasonable to assume that in its current state - The safe oxygen range is not 19.5-23.5% O2 .

Please respond Yes or No

undefined

Q1. B Does the space have an airborne contaminant that may cause impairment, loss of consciousness or asphyxiation?

Some enclosed or partially enclosed spaces have atmospheric contaminants that are harmful to persons but are designed for persons to occupy, e.g. abrasive blasting or spray painting booths. Enclosed or partially enclosed spaces that are intended or designated primarily for human occupation and have systems such as gaseous fire extinguishing systems ( see AS 4214) or inert gas systems for beverage dispensing ( see AS 5034) installed, are not confined spaces. In such cases, other safety systems such as relevant legislation, Standards or codes of practice apply.

Please respond Yes or No

This is classified as a confined space - Progress to section 2 to complete audit

undefined

Q1. C Does the space have an airborne contaminant that may cause injury from fire or explosion?

This is classified as a confined space - Progress to section 2 to complete audit

Comments

Q1 . D Does the space have a stored free flowing solid or rising level of liquid that may cause suffocation or drowning by engulfment?

A rising level of liquid in an enclosed or partially enclosed space may cause engulfment through the inability of a person to readily exit the space. Drowning in a reservoir, dam or tanks where the level of liquid is static is not considered to be drowning from engulfment.

Please respond Yes or No

This is classified as a confined space - Progress to section 2 to complete audit

Is the confined space hazard sign along with the unique identification number present at all possible entry points?

Please add photo and details of required signage or label that is missing requires replacment

Will the confined space label be replaced before the end of your shift ?

Please exit the audit, replace the missing sign and or label and resume once photo evidence can be uploaded in the tab below.
