Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(c)(2): If the workplace contains permit spaces, the employer shall inform exposed employees, by posting danger signs or by any other equally effective means, of the existence and location of and the danger posed by the permit spaces. NOTE: A sign reading DANGER -- PERMIT-REQUIRED CONFINED SPACE, DO NOT ENTER or using other similar language would satisfy the requirement for a sign. On or about March 15, 2017, the employer had not posted adequate danger signs on permit-required spaces, such as mixers. During mixer entry, employees were exposed to potential engulfment, mechanical and fall hazards.
