Confined Space Entry

Safe, Complete, and Compliant Solutions

Working in confined spaces presents some of the highest risks in any industrial operation – particularly where hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheres are present.

At Safehouse, we provide complete confined space entry solutions that maximise safety, ensure compliance, and maintain productivity. Our team understands the requirements of AS 2865: Confined Spaces and can design an equipment package tailored to your project’s needs.

 

Pressurised Habitats for Hot Work and Enhanced Access

Our pressurised habitat systems are engineered to keep confined space work areas safe, ventilated, and compliant – even when hot work or non-Ex certified equipment is required.

By maintaining positive pressure and controlling ventilation, our habitats:

  • Prevent the ingress of flammable gases
  • Contain ignition sources
  • Reduce explosion risk during live operations

The system can be sealed directly to confined space entry points, creating an air-lock entry system and an alternative ventilation pathway that eliminates the need to run ducting through manways. This design keeps access and escape routes clear – ensuring your teams can work and move safely at all times.

 

Air Conditioning, Ventilation, and Lighting

Confined spaces often suffer from low air movement, poor visibility, and extreme temperatures, which can quickly make conditions unsafe.

Safehouse provides a range of IECEx-certified equipment to create a safe, comfortable, and compliant work environment:

  • Portable air conditioners for temperature control and comfort
  • Ventilation fans, venturi air movers, and FRAS ducting for air circulation and purging
  • Explosion-protected lighting systems designed for low-visibility and hazardous conditions

All our systems meet the strict requirements of AS 2865, helping you maintain compliance while improving productivity.

 

Safe Power Distribution

When electrical power is required inside a confined space, safety and compliance are non-negotiable.

Safehouse offers a range of Ex-certified power distribution solutions, including:

  • IECEx-certified single-phase splitter boxes
  • Three-phase distribution boards with RCD protection
  • Ex-certified heavy-duty extension leads (AS/NZS 3191 compliant)

Each unit is designed for use in explosive gas atmospheres, ensuring your confined space work is powered safely and reliably.
