Confined Spaces
Spaces (such as tanks, vessels, bins, silos, boilers, vaults, pits, ditches, or
sewers) which can be bodily entered, have limited or restricted means of egress,
are not designed for continuous employee occupancy, and have one or more of
the following characteristics:
·
contain or have the potential to contain a Hazardous Atmosphere (such as
having held flammable, explosive, acidic, caustic, toxic materials) or where
oxygen enriched or deficient atmospheres or noxious odors may exist

asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor which slopes downward
and tapers to a smaller cross-section, or
·
contain any other recognized serious safety or health hazard, such as, ionizing
radiation, electric shock, temperature extremes, or moving parts.
Note: Ladders and temporary, movable, spiral, or articulated stairs are considered a limited or restricted means of egress.

and is considered to have occurred as soon as any part of the entrant's body
breaks the plane of an opening into the space.
2.5.

INITIALS: ______ DATE/TIME: _____/______ REASON: ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ ______ EQUIPMENT
The following equipment is required to be present/utilized for confined space entry:
Fire Extinguisher - This item is a requirement for which an exception is NOT permitted. The fire extinguisher must be placed near the confined space entry port.
Safety Harness and Line - This item is required to be worn by each person who enters the confined space. An exception is permitted only when the confined space design prohibits use of the harness and tag line for rescue.
Continuous Flammable Vapor and O2 Monitor - This item is a requirement for which an exception is not permitted. This monitor must be hung inside the confined space in close proximity to the entrants.
Ladder (Secured in place) - This item must be secured in place if it is needed for entry or exit. This item may not be excepted if it is required for exit or entry.
Lighting - This item may be excepted if lighting is not required for visibility and work will be completed prior to sunset. Lighting will have guards to prevent contact with the bulb.
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - Electrical devices taken into a confined space (including lighting) must be protected by a 110 VAC GFCI or have self-contained batteries. The GFCI MUST BE TESTED PRIOR TO CONFINED SPACE ENTRY. The Electrical classification of the area may necessitate more stringent standards.
Two-Way Radio for Attendant - This item may only be excepted if an alternate means of communicate is available which does not require the attendant to leave the space.
Air Mover (Blower) - This item is required to be placed and operating to blow fresh air into the confined space. IT IS UNSAFE AND NOT ACCEPTABLE to only exhaust air from the confined space such that fresh air is drawn in; It is acceptable to utilize local exhaust ventilation at a point source of contamination (e.g. welding) while blowing fresh air in.
Non-Entry Rescue Equipment - This item may NOT be excepted.
Supplied Air Respirator (SAR) - If the Confined Space does not achieve necessary air quality parameters (Toxicity <PEL, LEL=0% and Oxygen = 19.5 -21%) or air quality cannot be guaranteed by means of monitoring, or changing conditions (i.e. painting, welding, etc.) may compromise the integrity of air quality, SARs must be used by the Entrants and be available to the Attendant.
If the hazardous material can be monitored meets air quality criteria (toxicity, LEL and Oxygen) and changing conditions are not
expected, SARs may be excepted by designated Operations/Owning personnel trained and authorized for exception signatures. Excavations:
Excavation SARs may be excepted if the requirements below are also met: 1. One side has a slope of 1:1 or shallower.
2. An air mover of sufficient size to cause noticeable air movement at the bottom of the excavation is used. NOTES:
SARs shall be tested outside the confined space for a minimum of 10 seconds prior to entry in order to assess working condition. In addition, all fit test, medical clearance, training, donning/doffing and respirator inspection provisions of the Unit Respirator Program applies.
