Our expert team understands that, in line with recommendations from Safe work Australia, a confined space is determined by the hazards associated with the task and not just because work is performed in a small space.
The expert team at Industrial Clean SA have worked in a wide variety of confined spaces including tanks, vats, pits, pipes, silos, containers, shafts, tunnels, trenches, drains, flues, chimneys, ducts and roof spaces. We also perform cleaning and decontamination work in other areas that meet the confined space criteria set out by Safe Work Australia including: partially enclosed spaces that are not designed or intended to be occupied by a person; spaces that are a risk to health and safety due to its atmosphere; spaces that have contaminants like airborne gases, vapours and dusts that may cause injury; spaces that have harmful concentrations of any airborne contaminants; spaces that are at risk of engulfment; and spaces that may become a confined space if the work carried out in the space could generate harmful concentrations of airborne contaminants.
Safety is paramount when entering and cleaning within a confined space. Our expert team at Industrial Clean SA work toward minimising the safety and environmental hazards that can be associated with confined space cleaning. All our personnel are highly trained for entry into and working within confined spaces. Industrial Clean SA are accredited to Australian standards and work under the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice.
Our accreditation and training cover Industrial Clean SA personnel for entry into and working within confined spaces, atmospheric testing, breathing apparatus, rescue and standby protocols, permit systems, and logging and recording of information to comply with occupational health safety and environmental (OHSE) guidelines. Our systematic approach to safety places a strong emphasis on risk assessment and management, strategic project planning and management, safety protocols, onsite process controls and ongoing evaluation of outcomes.
Industrial Clean SA provide all the specialised safety support equipment required to work within confined spaces including entry paperwork, air monitoring devices, breathing apparatus, harnesses and lanyards and any other PPE required. Our strict safety management systems and policies ensure our staff and clients are kept safe and include the following procedures prior to entry:
