Question: Before entering a walk-in freezer to perform maintenance, a refrigeration mechanic must perform a confined space assessment. Which of the following is NOT a primary criterion for defining a space as a confined space under provincial OHS regulations?

Answer options: ✅ It is designed for continuous human occupancy.

  • It has restricted entry and exit.
  • It is large enough for a worker to enter and perform work.
  • It may contain a hazardous atmosphere.

Correct answer: It is designed for continuous human occupancy.

The opposite – 'designed for continuous human occupancy' – is a defining characteristic of a non-confined space.
