Confined spaces can be found in almost any industry and activity, from ship building and repair, to general construction and oil and gas facility commissioning and maintenance. Even a seemingly safe place such as a shipping container could be considered by some health and safety professionals as a confined space, depending upon the scenario at hand. Due to their nature, and the scenarios we find them in, confined spaces can present many varied hazards. If we do not fully understand how to work within and around these spaces, and counter these threats, workforces can suffer consequences including serious injury and even fatalities. Depending on the nature of the hazard, we could even put entire facilities and businesses at risk. You need to identify all the possible risk and plan for the countermeasures. a) List down all the possible issues/problems associated that can bring all the possibility of causing serious injuries and fatalities in confined space. b) Define the confined space and find the related cases happens in Malaysia and the other countries. c) Can you find any similarities of the causes of the incidents in Malaysia and US/UK/Europe? d) Develop the risk register table for working in confined space in Malaysia. You can use the following table as a guide.
