| Abstract |
Review of the hazards related to dangerous atmospheres (flammable, toxic, irritant or asphyxiating gases), and of general hazards (mechanical and physical) related to difficulties of communication, entry and exit. Sections deal with: types of confined spaces; measures prior to entering a confined space and during a stay in a confined space; poisoning hazards (threshold limit values for a number of gases and vapours, flammable limits of certain gases and vapours); explosion hazards; asphyxiation; hazards related to the physical environment (temperature, noise, vibration); techniques and apparatus for atmospheric evaluation. |
