The purpose of the Confined Space Program is to protect workers entering confined spaces to perform maintenance, cleaning, or other types of work. It provides information and guidelines for working with all classifications of confined spaces, identifying and evaluating spaces, establishing permit systems, managing safety equipment, and executing proper emergency and rescue protocols.
