Hazard identification

3.4.6. Hazard identification



(1) An employer must, so far as is reasonably practicable, identify all
hazards to health or safety associated with work in a confined space.

Notes 1. Act compliance-section 21 (see regulation 1.1.7). 2. See definition
of work in a confined space in regulation 1.1.5.

(2) An employer may carry out hazard identification under subregulation (1)
for a class of confined space rather than for an individual confined space if-

   (a)  all the confined spaces in the class are similar; and

   (b)  the identification carried out for the class of confined space does
        not result in any employee being subject to any greater, additional or
        different risk to health and safety than if the identification were
        carried out for each individual confined space.
