Confined Space Signs Can Help Prevent Fatalities! confined space fatalities average 92 workers per year...
Do your part to reverse preventable
accidents!
"Confined Space" refers to a space, which
by design has limited openings for entry and exit, unfavorable natural
ventilation which could contain or produce dangerous air contaminants, and
which is not intended for continuous employee occupancy. Many workplaces
contain spaces that are considered "confined" because their configurations
hinder the activities of employees who must enter, work in, and exit them.
According to data collected by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) and Bureau
of Labor Statistics (BLS) Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) program,
fatal injuries in confined spaces fluctuated from a low of 81 in 1998 to a high
of 100 in 2000 during the five-year period, averaging 92 fatalities per year. A
sign is a proven reminder to think "safety first". Use a confined
space sign to make it clear that your policy promotes "safety first".
