The Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 define a confined space as
"any place, including any chamber, tank, vat, silo, trench, pipe, sewer, flue well or other similar space in which, by its enclosed nature, there arises a foreseeable risk".

  • You are required to carry out a Risk Assessment to identify potential risks and provide your operatives with a safe system for working within the confined space in accordance with the regulations
  • Whilst Mabey Hire Services cannot prepare a risk assessment for you, we do provide gas detection equipment, an important aspect of the requirements.

    Gas detection equipment should be considered alongside other requirements such as Safe Access, Escape Sets and Rescue resources
  • Mabey Hire Services personnel have undergone specialist training on the operation and maintenance of gas detectors
  • Detailed user information will be supplied with the equipment
  • Mabey Hire Services' gas detection equipment allows the detection of:

    • Oxygen (deficiency and enrichment)
    • Methane
    • Hydrogen Sulphide
    • Carbon Monoxide
