Confined Spaces are enclosed or partially enclosed spaces that are at atmospheric pressure during occupancy and

• Are Not Intended or Designed Primarily as a Place of Work, and
  
• May Have Restricted Means for Entry and Exit, and

Storage tanks, tunnels, tank cars, process vessels, boilers, pressure vessels, silos and other tank like compartments, some pits or degreasers, pipes, sewers, shafts, ducts and similar structures are considered confined spaces.

Areas not usually considered confined spaces include offices, workshops, garage vehicle service pits, naturally ventilated roof spaces and sub floor areas (above ground level) where there is no source of atmospheric contamination.
