A welder entered a 24-inch diameter pipe alone to inspect his work but was later found unconscious and unresponsive, having suffocated inside the pipe. An investigation found the atmosphere in the pipe contained only 10.2% oxygen, below the safe entry level of 20%, as argon had been introduced but not shut off prior to entry. There was no evidence the welder had received confined space entry training, and the confined space entry permit and risk assessment compliance were not specified. Key lessons highlighted the high risk of confined space entry, the need to always test the atmosphere before entry, and have an approved permit, rescue plan, attendant, and properly tested equipment in place. Confined space entry training was deemed mandatory for

What happened: On 23/8/09, a welder crawled alone inside a 24” dia pipe to inspect his own work but subsequently found suffocated. Helper wisely did not enter but called for help. Emergency team safely pulled from the pipe – found unconscious & unresponsive; CPR was attempted but was unsuccessful. This happened at TR7 of QGC. Key findings (based on draft LFI): - Atmosphere in pipe: 10.2% O2 (safe entry 20%): Argon was 24” Stainless introduced & not shut off prior entry. Steel Pipe - No evidence of CSE training. (Line No. NR5306212- - CSE permit & company RA compliance not specified. 24”) - Compliance of standby attendant at entry point not specified. Key lessons learnt for us: - CSE is HIGH RISK activity. NEVER, EVER enter a CS without having the atmosphere Gas/O2 tested first, CSE permit approved, rescue plan / tag in place, attendant on s/by & equip is safe for use! - Sticking your head inside pipe/vessel/vessel skirt for quick look is hazardous! - CSE training is mandatory for all CSE workers / attendant. No CSE ID means No entry.
