Are the hazards posed by a confined space to be considered in determining whether a space meets the definition of a confined space?
The determination whether a space has “limited or restricted means for entry or exit” within the meaning of the standard’s definition of “confined space” should include consideration of whether, in light of the hazards posed by the particular space at issue, the configuration or other characteristics of the space would interfere with an entrant’s ability to escape or be rescued in an emergency situation.
