I see him every day at work, he would probably do it if you contacted him

it would be impossible to do the job on a flat concrete slab. That is why the confined spaces.A sewer plant with no confined spaces would stink for miles. It would be hard to find people to wear breathing gear forty hours a week, it is cumbersome and expensive.

@@doctormcgoveran2194 good points ....but its gotta be still possible some how ....where theres a will theres a way

@@richstarx Unfortunately, in most cases it can be a design, regulation, or even a necessity for the confined space to exist. Perhaps normally a human would never need to go in there but sometimes you cannot design for all future conditions and service issues. The rule about identifying ingress and egress points that would be difficult to escape in a hurry as well as poor or non-ventilated areas can paint a clearer picture of why we need to identify these confined spaces in our work environment. The guidelines that OSHA and similar puts out are not just rules to be enforced. We cannot predict all eventualities and do our best to compensate for this with adequate safety training. For example, now that I know this, it makes me more wary of poorly ventilated places that I would have trouble getting out of in a hurry. These guidelines help in preparation as well so that not only is the job done safely, it is done without injury.
