SAFETY BRIEFING VIDEO ANIMASI K3 - SOP PENGELASAN DI RUANG TERBATAS (CONFINED SPACE)

Summary

The video outlines crucial safety procedures for confined space welding operations. It emphasizes the importance of air quality testing, oxygen levels, and proper ventilation before starting work. Workers must use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and maintain communication during operations. A rescue plan must be in place, ensuring that at least one person remains outside the confined space at all times. Regular monitoring of gas levels is essential to prevent respiratory issues. These guidelines aim to protect workers from external hazards and ensure a safe working environment.

Takeaways

• 🔍 Ensure safety conditions and security in confined workspaces before starting any tasks.
• 🌬️ Conduct air testing or check gas levels using detectors to confirm safe oxygen levels (19.5% to 23.5%).
• 🧼 Clean and dispose of gases and liquids in confined spaces prior to welding activities.
• 🛡️ Provide barriers and shields to protect workers from external hazards during welding.
• 👷 Equip workers with necessary personal protective equipment (PPE), including welding gloves, aprons, respirators, and wearpacks.
• 💡 Install additional lighting in confined spaces to enhance visibility during operations.
• 🚨 Prepare emergency rescue plans and ensure that a support officer maintains constant communication with the main entry personnel.
• 👥 At least one person must remain outside the confined space during all activities for safety.
• 🚫 The main worker or welder should never work alone in a confined space.
• ⚠️ Regularly monitor gas concentrations and temperature within confined spaces using gas detectors to prevent respiratory issues.

Q & A

What is the initial step before starting work in a confined space?

Ensure the condition and safety of the area by conducting air testing or checking gas levels with a gas detector.

What is the acceptable range of oxygen levels in a confined space?

Oxygen levels should be between 19.5% and 23.5%.

What actions should be taken regarding gas and liquid disposal before welding?

Clean and dispose of gas and liquids in the confined space before beginning welding.

What safety equipment is necessary for welding in a confined space?

Welding barriers or shields should be available to protect workers from external hazards.

What personal protective equipment (PPE) should be provided for workers?

Workers should be supplied with appropriate PPE such as welding gloves, aprons, respirators, and protective wear.

Why is it important to provide additional lighting in a confined space?

Additional lighting is necessary to ensure visibility and safety during the welding process.

What should be planned for in case of an emergency?

A rescue plan must be prepared, and an attendant should remain alert to maintain visual and verbal communication with the main worker.

What is the minimum number of people required during confined space activities?

At least one person must be outside the confined space while work is ongoing.

Why is it not advisable for the main worker to work alone in a confined space?

The main worker should not work alone to ensure safety and immediate assistance in case of an emergency.

What ongoing checks should be performed while working in a confined space?

Regularly check gas levels and temperatures using a gas detector to prevent respiratory issues for workers inside the confined space.
