Permit Required Confined Space Program

Every year workers are killed as a result of hazardous conditions in confined spaces. A confined space is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work, has limited or restricted means for entry or exit, and is not designed for continuous employee occupancy. To prevent negative incidents to University of Wyoming (UW) employees, students, and visitors this program outlines the basic requirements to enter and perform work in confined spaces.
