The IMO has strengthened guidance surrounding confined space entry, placing greater emphasis on continuous atmospheric monitoring and emergency preparedness.
Among the key updates:
• Verification of oxygen, carbon dioxide, flammable gas, and toxic gas concentrations before entry
• Use of personal gas detectors for personnel entering confined spaces
• Use of rescue harnesses and retrieval systems
• Emergency response and casualty recovery equipment readily available
For vessel operators, compliance is no longer just about testing a space before entry — it is about ensuring personnel remain protected throughout the entire operation.
At Survival Systems Limited, we help marine and offshore operators equip their crews with the tools needed for safer confined space entry, including:
✓ Portable Multi-Gas Detectors
✓ Harnesses, Lanyards & other Fall Protection equipment
✓ Confined Space Tripod & Winch Systems
✓ SCBAs, EEBDs and Emergency Response Equipment
If you're reviewing your confined space entry procedures in light of the latest IMO guidance, our team can help identify the equipment required to support safer operations onboard.
