The space must be completely airtight and lack electric lighting. The space must be substantially enclosed and contain a reasonably foreseeable specified risk. The space must be located underground and require rope access equipment. The space must have only one narrow access hatch and contain toxic gas.

Question 3

What is the key operational distinction between a 'Low Risk' and a 'Medium Risk' confined space under City & Guilds 6160 framework guidance?

Low risk spaces do not require risk assessments, permits to work, or safety equipment of any kind. Medium risk spaces can only be entered by emergency response rescue services. Medium risk spaces require full self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) worn continuously during routine work. Medium risk spaces involve specified risks where entry requires emergency escape breathing apparatus (EEBA) and trained top person supervision, but routine work does not require airline/SCBA.

Medium risk spaces involve specified risks where entry requires emergency escape breathing apparatus (EEBA) and trained top person supervision, but routine work does not require airline/SCBA.

Avoid entry into the confined space altogether by doing the work from outside. Continuously ventilate the space with forced fresh air for 30 minutes prior to entry. Perform multi-gas atmospheric testing using a calibrated portable detector. Issue all entrants with 15-minute emergency escape breathing apparatus.

Avoid entry into the confined space altogether by doing the work from outside.
