Confined Space Safe Practice (IACS Rec 72)
The Confined Space Safe Practice provides guidance on the key considerations for confined space entry, including the necessary PPE, safe entry policies and procedures, and general hazards. It also provides guidance on atmosphere testing and the importance of a permit-to-work system.
The second part of the publication focuses on survey preparation and provides advice on tank cleaning and lighting approaches. It emphasizes the importance of thorough survey preparation before entering a confined space to ensure the individuals’ safety.
Also the publication concludes with a handy checklist that can be used on board to ensure all necessary precautions are taken before entering a confined space.
Overall, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for mariners and Societies in developing confined space entry procedures or technical instructions for surveyors. As a result it provides a common reference standard of good practice and aims to enhance safety in enclosed
