Why Confined Space Work Puts You at Risk

A confined space jobsite can turn dangerous in seconds. Atmospheric hazards, poor visibility, and missing rescue plans can quickly escalate from inconvenience to tragedy. OSHA penalties for permit-required confined space violations (29 CFR 1910.146) can exceed $15,000 per incident, but the real cost is downtime and injury. 

Common Jobsite Risks Include

  • Atmospheric hazards: oxygen deficiency, flammable or toxic gases 
  • Fall hazards in tanks, vaults, and vertical entries 
  • Lack of rescue or communication planning 
  • Inadequate lighting or poor visibility 

OSHA Confined Space Violations and Fines

OSHA inspectors commonly cite: 

  • Missing or incomplete entry permits 
  • Lack of continuous atmospheric monitoring 
  • Untrained personnel entering permit-required spaces 
  • Missing rescue equipment or lifelines

  • No proof of hazard testing or recordkeeping

Who Uses Confined Space Rentals

Every industry that deals with tanks, tunnels, vaults, or pipelines faces the same challenge — getting the job done safely, fast, and in full OSHA compliance. That’s where confined space rentals come in. From public utilities to construction contractors and environmental consultants, crews rely on short-term rentals to bridge equipment gaps, replace out-of-service gear, or ramp up for critical projects without slowing down.

Confined space work isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each sector faces unique hazards, job conditions, and timelines. MES understands those differences — and our confined space rental solutions are tailored to meet them, combining the right mix of gas detection, ventilation, rescue systems, and fall protection so every team has what it needs to work safely and stay compliant.
