A confined space medical is a specialised safety-critical medical that checks whether workers are medically and psychologically fit to enter and work in confined spaces such as silos, trenches, tanks, sewers and pits. It is required for everyone involved in confined space operations: entrants, standby and rescue personnel, and supervisors.

Why confined space medicals matter

Confined spaces present unique, life-threatening risks, including oxygen deprivation, hazardous fumes and physical entrapment. Workers need to react quickly, manage stress and operate breathing apparatus. The medical identifies conditions that could lead to sudden incapacitation, impaired judgement or a delay in rescue.

What a confined space medical includes

• General health assessment
• Cardiovascular and respiratory screening
• Vision and hearing checks
• Musculoskeletal mobility assessment
• Psychological fitness evaluation
• Optional drug and alcohol testing

Who needs a confined space medical

• Entrants: workers who physically enter the confined space
• Standby and rescue personnel: those who may need to enter in an emergency
• Supervisors: those who oversee the entry and work process
