Safety in Tight Spaces: Approach Confined Spaces with Caution
Nearly 60 percent of workers who die after entering confined spaces fall victim while attempting to help downed co-workers. Many would-be rescuers panic and don’t stop and think about the hazards before plunging in to help.
They naively believe they can hold their breath while carrying a co-worker out. That may happen in the movies, but in reality it can lead to a domino death effect, where two or more would-be rescuers die in rapid succession while attempting to help an unresponsive co-worker.
