INTRODUCTION:


Safety To enter confined spaces and eliminate the hazards of manned
entry.
These hazards include:
-Communication problems
-Hazardous atmospheres
-Fall hazards
-Mechanical hazards.

Access Sometimes the average worker cannot physically reach the work
area.

Radiation exposure Work in some locations can involve exposure to
radiation. Practice is to keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably
achievable.
