Communication reduces errors, enabling team members to remain united and increasing their efficiency. The Con-Space wireless system accessories and the radio accessories are designed to be operated in situa- tions with high levels of ambient noise and with any type of breathing apparatus or protec- tive gear (“anti-flash” masks, total facial cover breathing apparatus, and encapsulated suits). The wireless systems are simultaneously bi-directional, which enables hand free com- munication for all users. All Con-Space equipment is robust- ly built, waterproof and adapt- able to any rescue situation. The benefits derived from Con- Space communication equip- ment are many, among them we highlight the following: - Radical increase in safety lev- els at work or in rescue tasks. - Compliance and in excess of the requirements of interna- tional standards in force for workers’ access procedure to confined spaces. - Security personnel can imme- diately recognize any sign of over-exposure to chemicals being used or present in the confined space (form of speech, abnormal breathing or inco- herent responses). - Reduction of accidents caused by unintelligible information and/or deficient communica- tion (frequency, misinterpreta- tion of signs, shouts, etc). - Enabling the supervisor to continually monitor activities carried out within or outside the confined space or in the res- cue activity.

Con-Space equipment, communication for emergencies and confined spaces A confined space is one that has limited openings of entrance and exit, unfavourable natural ventila- tion, the possible accumulation of toxic or inflammable conta- minants, or that presents an atmosphere lacking in oxygen. Soitisaspacethatisnot intended for continued occupa- tion by workers. The risks in these spaces are multiple, since the accumulation of toxic or inflammable substances and lack of oxygen are in addition to those caused by cramped space, uncomfortable and inconvenient working pos- tures, limited lighting etc. Like- wise, the risks derived from problems or rudimentary means of communication between inside and outside the space must also be taken into account. Con-Space, which is distributed in Spain through the firm Escon, Espacios Confinados S.L, of Hoyo de Manzanares (Madrid), offers communica- tion equipment for industrial jobs and special/rescue opera- tions both in routine industrial situations and in response to emergencies. Not only common sense recom- mends their use, the informa- tion available in the Technical Guide to the Assessment and Prevention of Work Hazards for confined atmospheres, drawn up by the INSHT and with reference to the Spanish Royal Decree 1627/1997, of 24 October (BOE No. 256, of 15 Oct), is very clear in this respect: “... these jobs shall be carried out taking as a reference the fol- lowing basic standards: - Constant surveillance from the exterior. - Continual communication between the workers that remain inside and outside the confined space”. Escon, Espacion Confinados S.L. supplies: - Wireless systems.
