Specs Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 22 hours ago, Sir Fallsalot said: I know where your coming from @Clive all my younger life I've just done what i wanted but after working in the waste water industry and having to do confined space training its made me think why am i still alive I always remember this case from when I did my last Confined Space Course. It's from 2007. "In its report on the Viking Islay incident, which took place on the Amethyst gas field, 25 miles off the East Yorkshire coast, MIAB noted that the ERRV was conducting rig support operations when two seamen went forward with the intention of securing a rattling anchor chain within the chain locker. One of the seamen entered the chain locker and collapsed. It is probable that the other seaman, realising that help was urgently required, raised the alarm with the duty watchkeeping rating on the bridge before he, too, entered the chain locker in an attempt to help his companion. He also collapsed. During subsequent rescue efforts, the first rescuer found he was unable to enter the chain locker wearing breathing apparatus, and he therefore donned an EEBD. He entered the space, but at some point the hood was removed, or became dislodged, and this rating also collapsed. All three seamen died as a result of an oxygen deficient atmosphere within the chain locker." There were plenty of other similar examples. All very sad and unnecessary. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had similar stories told me on the courses I've done where people have entered a steel tank and died due to the tank rusting, A lot of people don't realise the danger with rust in enclosed spaces it uses up the oxygen creating an oxygen deficient atmosphere, Another one is we are not allowed to use aluminium ladders anywhere an explosive atmosphere may be present because if you bang aluminium against a rusty object you can create a spark and ignite the atmosphere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same story repeated time after time. They think that they’ll be ok for a short while. The third guy was probably not thinking straight due to shock. First mistake was with the first guy who should have tested the atmosphere. We always tested before going into chain lockers and any space where there might be rust, such as ballast tanks. Had to ventilate for twenty four hours before entry if I remember correctly. protective gear used if there was chance of getting contaminated, oils or sulphur for example. Breathing apparatus or dust masks as required. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
