Description: Entering a space can be dangerous because the atmosphere inside may not support life. It’s essential that you stop and think; am I following procedures? Have I taken the necessary precautions? If not, you’ll put people at risk, including yourself!
The IMO defines an enclosed space as ‘an area on board which has limited openings for entry and exit, inadequate ventilation, or is not designed for continuous worker occupancy’, but any space can be dangerous, not just those that are defined as ‘enclosed’.
