As engineers, we have numerous opportunities to witness tower internals in the field during installation and also during turnarounds. We need to take these field opportunities to further our personal development and ensure that what was intended to be placed inside towers is actually installed correctly. As a result, we owe it to ourselves and our companies to do this inspection as safe as possible. This presentation will focus on safety with regards to entry, inspection and egress from trayed and packed confined spaces. The intention is to make sure that during inspection, we (and others around us) go home safe at the end of the day.
