🚧 Confined Spaces – Safety First 🚧
Working in a confined space isn’t just another job — it’s one of the most hazardous tasks under Australian WHS legislation. Risks such as toxic atmospheres, oxygen deficiency, fire, engulfment, and restricted access mean that strict legal requirements apply.
Under the Model WHS Regulations (Part 4.3), employers and PCBUs must:
✅ Identify and assess confined spaces in the workplace
✅ Eliminate or control risks before anyone enters
✅ Ensure workers are trained, competent, and supervised
✅ Have an emergency plan in place before entry
At CROSSapac, we work with businesses across industries to make sure your confined space procedures meet compliance — and, more importantly, keep your people safe.
Remember: Every confined space entry should start with the question — is it necessary? If it is, it must be done safely and in full compliance with the law.
