The personal protective equipment required for a confined space depends on what is or may be in the confined space. That is why it is a must that all workers involved in confined spaces job take a really good confined spaces training before performing their duties. OSHA has a new 8 hour confined spaces training that they can consider to make sure that all hazards and dangers of such working environment is avoided.
