Test Your knowledge on Confined Space – Online Quiz

Entry into Confined Space is an unavoidable task in any Chemical Process Industry and it can be deadly. Especially for Cleaning, Inspection, Repairs and maintenance of the vessels and equipment, the confined space entry is necessary. According to Trevor KIletz’s statement in Still going wrong, preparing the confined space for entry is like sharpening the saw for woodcutting – the time well spent. This Confined Space online quiz module helps to understand the confined space, entry permit, hazards associated and the safety systems to be followed.
