Abstract

This Uganda Standard covers recognized procedures necessary to protect the health and safety of workers required to enter confined spaces. These procedures are particularly applicable to entry into the confined areas associated with the use of halogenated organic solvents. Confined areas addressed in this practice include, but are not limited to: vapor degreasers, cold cleaning tanks, storage vessels, tank cars and trucks, van trailers, ships or barges, pits or sumps, and unventilated rooms. This practice does not necessarily address entry into all confined spaces nor does it address the decision strategy involved in requiring such entry. This standard was published on 2019-03-26.
