Accidents in confined spaces were caused by oxygen deficiency, toxic gas, and flammable gas. Accidents in confined spaces bear several common features such as absence of or insufficient safeguards, neglect of safe practices and procedures, and employment of contract employees without adequate training in safety procedures. NIOSH and DOSH Malaysia had set up the national standards for confined spaces safety.
