Question: “Confined space: working in construction, when does the space your are building become a confined space? It starts out fine but the finished product is a confined space.”

Answer: There’s gotta be a ‘know-it-when-you-see-it’ factor here, right? Two things to consider in relation to the updated Confined Space Construction Rule:

2. OSHA’s definition: “A confined space has; limited means of entry and/or exit, is large enough for a worker to enter it, and is not intended for regular/continuous occupancy. Examples may include sewers, pits, crawl spaces, attics, boilers, and many more.”

So, that’s both who and what they’re looking for, concerning confined spaces under construction.
