LSR Confined Space Toolbox Talk

This document outlines a toolbox talk on confined space safety. It discusses Energy Safety Canada's 10 Life Saving Rules, with a focus on the Confined Space rule. The rule states that one must obtain authorization before entering a confined space, including confirming energy isolation, atmosphere testing, use of breathing apparatus as needed, having an attendant, and a rescue plan. Additional guidance is provided on energy sources, entry definition, and roles for supervisors, attendants, and workers. Example violations of the rule are listed, and it relates the Confined Space rule to other Life Saving Rules. The document emphasizes knowing responsibilities, intervening if unsure, and applying rules consistently to achieve zero injuries.
