The meaning of confined is limited, restrained to a given volume.
think of a toilet cubical... its a small space made up of four walls... so you cant really move
As long as the fixture in the confined space is approved for confined space and the wattage rating of the fixture is not below 60 watts then there should be no problem using a 60 watt bulb in this situation.
A portable carbon monoxide detector is used to sniff an area in a confined space to make sure that there is no carbon monoxide gasses present before any personnel are allow to enter the confined space.
Not on its own. It needs a source of ignition.
It is to reduce the impact of electrical shock to the workers (in case any). By having less voltage the consequence would also be diminished. Installation with higher voltage (110 V, 220 V, or 380 V) is possible to create a fatal incident depending upon the environment (wet, metal surface, etc.)
No, the fumes of alcohol are not effective for disinfecting confined spaces. It is recommended to use approved disinfectants containing at least 70% alcohol or other appropriate disinfectants for sanitizing enclosed areas effectively.
Confined space is an area that is enclosed. A dog kennel could be a confined space for a dog. A living room is a confined space for example.
There is currently a sale on confined space gas detectors at pksafety. They have several models to choose from: http://www.pksafety.com/confined-space-gas-detectors.html
an authorized employee responsible for determining whether acceptable entry conditions are present in a confined space before authorizing entry; overseeing the confined space operation, and terminating the confined space entry
ensure that a qualified person evaluates and classifies the confined space
A confined space rescue is any rescue operation conducted to safely remove a worker who is injured, trapped, unconscious, or otherwise unable to exit a confined space without assistance. These emergencies can occur in tanks, silos, vaults, tunnels, manholes, pipelines, pits, or other enclosed spaces where hazardous conditions exist. A confined space rescue typically qualifies when: A worker becomes trapped due to a collapse, entanglement, or equipment failure. Hazardous gases or oxygen deficiency make it unsafe for the worker to exit independently. The worker suffers a medical emergency, such as heat stress, cardiac arrest, or loss of consciousness. A fire, explosion, flooding, or chemical release creates an immediate danger. The worker is physically unable to escape because of injury or restricted movement. A qualified confined space rescue requires trained rescue personnel, specialized rescue equipment, atmospheric monitoring, proper personal protective equipment (PPE), and a pre-established rescue plan. Attempting an unplanned rescue without proper training or equipment can place additional workers at serious risk. Example: A maintenance technician enters a storage tank for inspection and is overcome by oxygen deficiency. Since the worker cannot exit without assistance, a trained rescue team uses retrieval systems, respiratory protection, and established rescue procedures to safely remove the worker. This is considered a confined space rescue.

Yes. Confined Space Training is mandatory in order to be OSHA certified. Confined Space Training is a necessary part of worker safety. http://www.confinedspaceentrytraining.com/
