A confined space is a space that meets all of the following criteria:
- Large enough for an employee to enter and perform work
- Has limited or restricted means for entry and exit

Examples of confined spaces include storage tanks, vessels, pits and sewers. Confined spaces are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under
