OSHA 3138-01R, Permit-Required Confined Spaces. Many workplaces contain spaces that are considered to be confined because their configurations hinder the activities of employees who must enter into, work in or exit from them. In many instances, employees who work in confined spaces also face increased risk of exposure to serious physical injury from hazards such as entrapment, engulfment, and hazardous atmospheric conditions. Confinement itself may pose entrapment hazards and work in confined spaces may keep employees closer to hazards such as machinery components than they would be otherwise. For example, confinement, limited access and restricted airflow can result in hazardous conditions that would not normally arise in an open workplace. The terms permit-required confined space and permit space refer to spaces that meet OSHA's definition of a confined space and contain health or safety hazards. For this reason, OSHA requires workers to have a permit to enter these spaces. Throughout this publication the term permit space will be used to describe a permit-required confined space.
