当需要进入密闭空间时，应采取适当的预防措施。
在密闭空间发生的相关死亡事件都有一个相似的地方，即，一名船员进入密闭空间后倒下，另一名船员仓促地试图救援，但不幸相继倒下。根据国际船级社的资料，多数情况下(超过50%的情况)，未经筹划的救援，因致命气体而以悲剧告终。
为应对此类意外，《国际海上人命安全公约》(SOLAS)第三章19条作了相关的修订，并于2015年1月1日生效。修订生效后，要求所有进入密闭空间的人员，每两个月参加一次密闭空间进入和救援演习。

Entry into Enclosed Spaces
There should be appropriate precautions when entry to that space is required.
Related fatalities incident occurred within enclosed space is very similar – one person enters an enclosed space and collapse, the concerned colleagues then rush in attempting to rescue their colleague but collapse too. In accordance to IACS, the unplanned rescue will most likely end in tragedy (over 50%) due to the lethal atmosphere.
To address this kind of incident, there are amendments to SOLAS Regulation III/ Regulation 19 effective from 1 January 2015. All persons involved in enclosed space entries will be required to take part in enclosed space entry and rescue drills at intervals once every two months.
