Identify confined spaces
Regardless of the type of confined space, they all have common characteristics:
In a closed or partially closed state.
Not designed as a fixed workplace.
Personnel can enter to carry out the work.
It is easy to cause the accumulation of toxic, harmful, flammable and explosive substances or insufficient oxygen content.
In life, it is not uncommon for ordinary people to accidentally enter a limited space, and casualties occur, so it is particularly important to learn to recognize the limited space.
Once you see these signs, please stay away from them.
In the event of a confined space accident
Don't blindly rescue
What do you do when you find someone trapped in a limited space in your life?
When you find someone fainting in a limited space, do not blindly enter the rescue, and call 119 and 120 as soon as possible. While waiting for rescue, the forced air supply equipment can be used to forcibly supply air inward at the entrance and exit to increase the oxygen content in the limited space.
Due to the special structure of the limited space, the rescue is usually difficult, even if it is a professional rescuer, it is necessary to take the correct and effective rescue method according to the on-site situation

In case of accidents, avoid blind rescue
