INTRODUCTION:

Safety – To enter confined spaces and eliminate the hazards of manned entry. These hazards include:

-Communication problems-Hazardous atmospheres-Fall hazards-Mechanical hazards.

Access – Sometimes the average worker cannot physically reach the work area.

Radiation exposure – Work in some locations can involve exposure to radiation. Practice is to keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable.
