What two main types of hazards associated with confined spaces are?

The two main types of hazards associated with confined spaces are physical hazards and atmospheric hazards. Physical hazards include risks such as entrapment, falls, or equipment-related dangers, while atmospheric hazards involve the presence of harmful gases, lack of oxygen, or toxic substances that can lead to suffocation or poisoning. Both types of hazards can pose significant risks to individuals working in or entering confined spaces. Proper safety protocols and monitoring are essential to mitigate these risks.
