A confined space tends to be an arch nemesis to contractors and construction employees. The incident I will refer to for this question deals quite directly with the hazards of confined spaces. The Human factor theory of accident causation attributes accidents to a chain of events ultimately caused by human error‚ this is the case especially when it comes to confined space entry. The systems theory models are the person‚ the machine‚ environment and information; risks; and the task to be performed
