Whenever a confined space job, a critical welding job, or any other type of critical job is ongoing, the team meets and nominates another worker who is competent and qualified to act as a Standby man. This Standby man must be properly equipped to carry out the supporting duties and responsibilities of a standby person without any hindrance as the fate of all the team members rests on him. A Standby man monitors the internal and external activities “in and around” the ongoing job such as when working in a confined space. He is stationed at the entry point of the confined space to monitor the job and to sound the alarm in case of any emergency.
