Which of the following is NOT a typical characteristic of a "confined space"?

It has a continuous air supply
It has limited entry and exit points
It is not designed for continuous occupancy
It has hazardous atmosphere potential

The correct answer is: It has a continuous air supply

A typical characteristic of a confined space is that it has limited entry and exit points, is not designed for continuous occupancy, and often has the potential for hazardous atmospheres. The presence of a continuous air supply is not a defining feature of confined spaces. In fact, many confined spaces can have inadequate ventilation leading to poor air quality and hazardous conditions. Therefore, a continuous air supply would actually be an exception rather than the norm in confined spaces. Recognizing these characteristics is crucial for ensuring the safety of individuals who may need to enter such spaces, as understanding the inherent risks helps implement appropriate safety measures and protocols.
