Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(j)(2): The employer did not ensure that each entry supervisor verified, by checking that the appropriate entries had been made on the permit, that all tests specified by the permit had been conducted and that all procedures and equipment specified by the permit are in place before endorsing the permit and allowing entry to begin; a. On or about January 14, 2017, in the phosphate area, employees were required to work inside a wash tank, a permit required confined space. The employer did not ensure the confined space permit was signed in the supervisor space by the responsible person. Employees were thereby exposed to the hazards associated with unverified permit confined space entries.
