Disaster recovery and restoration can be veiled in mystery to the many who have not undertaken specific training. This glossary explains technical terms to assist both report writing and the understanding of those technical terms so often misunderstood.
Definition
| Atmospheric Hazards: |
Atmospheric hazards are any airborne hazard in air. Health and Safety Note: Most atmospheric hazards are inhalation hazards, but atmospheric hazards are airborne ingestion and skin absorption hazards, radiation, flammable, gas, vapor, mist, chemical and atmospheric explosion hazards. Atmospheric hazards include too much or too little oxygen in air, and airborne pollutants that are easily inhaled. |
| Non-Permit Required Confine Space: |
A work space or entry which meets the confined space requirements, and a space that does not have the potential to contain any hazard capable of causing death or serious physical harm. As far as atmospheric hazards are concerned, a space that does not have atmospheric influences, including the lack of breathable oxygen. Health and Mitigation Note: Rooms, buildings and substructures containing sewage, harbor potential surface and airborne bacteria and viruses; fungi contamination, harbors surface and airborne mycotoxins; and areas containing chemicals harbouring flammable, explosives and toxics, are all confined work spaces, bordering on permit required confined space.
