摘要：A confined space is defined as a space with limited access, inadequate or insufficient ventilation, not being designed for continuous human occupation, presenting potential risks to health and life of workers in carrying out their tasks, routine or not. This study aims to analyze the process of decontamination and maintenance of a truck tank, by identifying the possible risks and developing safety procedures within the scope of work in Confined Space. The methodology employed has supported by literature about confined space followed by a case study and analysis of the services carried out in the truck tank. The resultes in the identification of several problems in the current procedure, mainly due to the lack of security management, thus allowing suggesting measures for the elimination of risks. The study finally underscores the importance of the health and safety of workers as an essential factor for the preservation of life and workforce, besides giving subsidies for the company to meet the current legislation.
