What confined space entry equipment do I need to comply with OSHA regulations?
First of all, the air quality in the confined space will need to be monitored and checked for harmful gasses. You can do this with one of the gas detectors sold by USA BlueBook. If the air quality is found to be harmful, the area can be purged or ventilated to provide fresh air. This can be done with a confined space blower. A self-contained breathing apparatus can also be worn while entering the confined space for added reassurance. The air quality in a confined space can change very quickly, so the air must be monitored at all times.
