Definition of confined space in English English dictionary

Confined space is a term from labor-safety regulations that refers to an area whose enclosed conditions and limited access make it dangerous

An enclosure such as a storage tank, process vessel, boiler, silo, tank car, pipeline, tube, duct, sewer, underground utility vault, tunnel, or pit that has limited means of getting out and poor natural ventilation and that may contain hazardous contaminants or be oxygen deficient
