Data released by OSHA shows that on average, there are 92 deaths and close to 11,000 injuries occurring in the workplace. Of these 92 deaths, ¼ can be attributed to inspection, repair, cleaning, and maintenance activities in enclosed spaces.
What is an Enclosed Space?
Enclosed spaces are described as areas such as pits, vessels, holding tanks, and boilers. So, it can be defined as a space that is large enough for a cleaner to enter and carry out their duties, but one that is not designed for continued occupancy. Additionally, enclosed spaces tend to have restricted or limited means of entry and exit.

It is important to ensure that feed and grain mills are kept clean at all times. Keeping them clean helps in eliminating the accumulation of dust and also ensures that pest infestations do not take place. The use of an industrial vacuum cleaner that has wands and the necessary attachments will eliminate the need for cleaners to enter the pit for cleaning purposes. It will also free up valuable resources while eliminating the risk of death within such an enclosed space.
Our technicians can also install a Breakaway Central Vacuum system for you. The system is ideal for use in Class II Division 2 zones. The vacuums make use of powerful and portable vacuum units in conjunction with small tubing networks. It also comes with a dirty side volume which happens to be one that is less than 8 cubic feet, making it easy to move from one zone to another.
