ENTERING INTO ENCLOSED SPACES

This video is devoted to one of the most important safety aspects both offshore, at sea or ashore - entering confined, i.e. partially or fully enclosed spaces. Answer a simple question - would you enter any enclosed space if you knew or suspect there was a mad man there with the gun waiting to kill you? No, of course you wouldn't.

Can you explain then why more than two hundred of your fellow mariners each year enter enclosed spaces and die there knowing that toxic gases might be present and that the surrounding atmosphere inside the space might not contain enough oxygen to support human life.

Strange but it is very difficult to find the easy explanation but we will do our best to show, in this short training film, the dangers commonly associated with entering such spaces without taking all necessary precautions, and potential consequences of such actions. Have a close look and never repeat their mistakes, you will save your life and maybe life of your co-workers...
