What Is Low-Risk Confined Space and the Importance of Training

Confined spaces are areas that are not designed for continuous occupancy and are often difficult to enter or exit. While many people associate confined spaces with high-risk environments like sewers or chemical tanks, low-risk confined spaces are much more common—and still pose significant safety concerns. These include places such as meter pits, basements, boiler rooms, and storage areas with minimal hazards but limited access.

Even in these low-risk settings, accidents can occur due to poor ventilation, unexpected obstructions, or a lack of emergency planning. That’s why proper training is essential.
