A space that includes all the following:

1. is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work and;
2. has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and
3. is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.

Confined spaces at the University include but are not limited to manholes, electrical vaults, boilers, wells, vessels that can be bodily entered and tanks. Generally, areas that can be entered through a door and have the same atmospheric conditions as occupied spaces, would not be classified as confined spaces.
