There are numerous confined spaces (pits, manholes, tanks, etc.) on the University’s grounds. Some may be added during new construction and renovations. If your work requires you to enter a confined space, you must follow certain procedures to ensure your safety.
Confined space entry presents a number of potential hazards. The Confined Space Access Program for non-FM individuals at UVA establishes a standard means of assessing these spaces, as well as providing training for personnel required to enter these spaces.
