Summary of the lecture
Approximately 2.1 million workers annually work in confined spaces and containers. Statistics are revealing, that working in confined spaces is still a leading cause of multiple fatalities and serious injuries. The special requirements of confined spaces must be considered by appropriate safety measures, gas detection technology and protective equipment to prevent accidents and incidents. In this webinar, we will point out the main causes of an increased accident frequency.
We will focus on topics like clearance measurement, permit to work and continuous gas monitoring. The protection of workers in all conditions is a top priority. Ensuring safety and health at work will guide the pathway to Vision Zero. Take advantage of the valuable insights we will share with you.
