Published by SALUSWhen a worker is required to enter a confined space or a restricted space to work, the employer is required to appoint a competent person to perform a hazard assessment. The hazard assessment must include:
- Identifying and assessing the hazards the worker is likely to be exposed to while in the confined space or restricted space.
- Specifying the type and frequency of inspections and tests necessary to determine the likelihood of worker exposure to any of the identified hazards.
- Performing the inspections and tests specified.
