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 5/29/13, employees of K&D Transportation were entering Timpte semi-trailer hoppers to clean after unloading without these spaces being posted or employees being informed of the dangers posed by the spaces. Employees entering the trailer hoppers were exposed to hazards of falling into hazardous machinery or areas below due to slippery converging sides, as well as other potential hazards such as engulfment and falls.
