Defining Safe Systems of Work

Our specialists can help you identify confined spaces and work with you to develop safe systems of work, using optimum and safe practices.

Confined spaces can be found anywhere: below the ground in tunnels, chambers, trenches and pipes; above the ground in silos, vats, chambers and flues; or even at heights in wind turbines, power stations, industrial complexes and offices. Johnson Controls can visit your site, and provide a classification system (working in conjunction with the current site procedures) based on our own risk assessments of the hazards in the area.

Although the Health and Safety Act does not specify which equipment is appropriate, your business is still required to provide equipment that is “…appropriate in view of the likely emergencies identified in the risk assessment”. Experience is paramount in identifying appropriate equipment for each specific job and confined space. We carry a range of equipment that we know is suitable and flexible to cover a range of possible confined space emergency rescues. Our experts can assess your site to determine the correct equipment required for each confined space.

Emergency Arrangements

Emergency services are often not equipped for confined space rescue. When every minute is crucial, delays while waiting for the emergency services to mobilise the correct equipment can be critical. We can provide advice on formulating emergency plans and actions to minimise risks to personnel.

Safe Systems of Work

We have many years of experience in the confined space industry. We work with our customers to not only ensure that their procedures are in place, but also to keep them up to date with current legislation. We ensure that they are accessible and understandable, while never compromising on safety.
