Product Description
Generic Risk Assessment 2.1 - Rescues from Confined Spaces consists of four intrinsic sub-parts that deal with specific activities of rescues from confined spaces:
- 2.1.1 Sewers
- 2.1.2 Silos
- 2.1.3 Trenches/pits
- 2.1.4 Collapsed structures
This Assessment examines only those hazards, risks and controls that are specific to incidents involving rescues from silos (see definition below for what constitutes a silo) and similar structures and should be read within the context provided by Generic Risk Assessment 2.1 Rescues from confined spaces.
- SILO
- A container or tower, often cylindrical in shape, used for the storage of silage, grain, powders, pellets, sawdust, foodstuffs, chemicals, crops and fluids like sewage digester tanks
Silage is any crop harvested while green for fodder and kept succulent by partial fermentation in a silo. Silos are often bespoke designs capable of handling all types of materials from the finest powders to the most cohesive substances.
This GRA is supplied as a loose-leaf document. A binder pack containing an introduction to the series, foreword by Sir Ken Knight, contents and dividers is available to order separately. The binder is the ideal solution for storing the loose-leaf GRAs.
