If you are working on buildings and need to access attic cavities or other confined spaces, you should know how to do it safely. Recently, there have been more documented cases of injuries to workers and structures for actions that occurred in these spaces.

Workers in confined spaces have unintentionally caused injury to themselves and the building. Not having a safety person monitoring to assist can be the difference of life and death. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has released new rulings that effect companies working in confined spaces to reduce the potential hazardous effects.https://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3825.pdf

Like some regulations, it is not that we need them as much as we need common sense best practices to be followed. To often we do things without stopping to evaluate all the possible outcomes and alternative options.

Regardless of your business structure or size and if you fall under the new OSHA ruling, it is good practice to use the message. Work safely so we can enjoy another day.
