Compiled by IACS, this publication contains detailed recommendations on all aspects of entering enclosed spaces safely. It includes risk management advice and an explanation of the 'permit to work' system, ensuring safety issues are intercepted before tank operations take place. The guidelines are supplemented by a handy checklist that can be used on board. The book forms a common reference point for mariners on safe survey preparation and tank entry.

This Guideline is intended to assist Societies in developing Confined Space Entry procedures or technical instructions for the Surveyors, according to a common reference standard of good practice.

The Guideline is structured in two parts. In the first part, general information concerning definitions and requirements to safely enter and work in Confined Spaces are summarized.

The second part helps the worker to recognize the hazards associated with confined spaces and gives detailed guidelines for a safe survey preparation and entry.

A Checklist for Entry into Confined Space is also included.
