Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Where should ventilation be directed in a confined space?

A. Ventilation equipment (forced air or exhaust) should ideally be directed towards the immediate vicinity of each entrant within the compact space.

Q. Which gases can be found in confined space?

A. The most common toxic gases found in confined spaces are hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon monoxide (CO).

Q. Is RamFan UB20 suitable for outdoor use?

A. This axial fan is CSA / UL approved and thus, meets stringent outdoor use requirements.

Q. What are the factors to consider while choosing a confined space fan?

A.

• Size and capacity
• Noise level
• Durability and construction material
• Safety features
• Power Source (electric or battery)
• Portability and weight
• Airflow direction and speed control

Q. What safety precautions should I take when using this confined space fan?

A.

• Prioritise safety by thoroughly reviewing the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines provided in the user manual.
• Use gas detection equipment to monitor air quality and detect hazardous gases before and during fan operation to prevent exposure risks.
• Ensure operators receive comprehensive training on proper usage, including setup, operation and maintenance procedures, to mitigate risks effectively.
• Conduct a detailed assessment of potential risks, such as toxic gases, low oxygen levels or flammable materials before deploying the fan in confined spaces.
• Verify the fan's electrical components are in good condition and avoid operation in wet environments to minimise electrical hazards.
• Strategically position the fan to ensure optimal air circulation, considering factors like airflow direction and potential obstructions.
• Anchor or stabilise the fan securely to prevent tipping or dislodging during operation, especially in unstable or elevated locations.
