Occupational health or occupational health refers to the promotion and preservation of the physical integrity of the worker during the performance of its duties, by detecting factors that interfere with your health. The work system involving confined space refers to any area or environment not designed for continuous human occupation, which has limited means of entry and exit, whose existing ventilation is sufficient to remove contaminants or where there could be a deficiency or oxygen enrichment and they are regulated by NR - Regulatory Norm no. 33, which was approved by MTE - Ministry of Labour and Employment, through no concierge. 202 of December 22, 2006 and updated on August 29, 2012. Workers who enter confined spaces perform services such as maintenance, repairs, cleaning, inspection equipment or reservoirs. These sites pose potential risks and sometimes subtle and are not noticed in some cases. The objective of this paper is to present theoretical reflections on the importance of safety and health at work in confined spaces.

To reduce and prevent accidents, it should make the broad and specific survey on the occurrence of accidents, workplace and its conditions, and implement prevention programs by those responsible for the workplace, highlighting which should be carried out prevention more strictly.
