29 CFR 1926.1203(a): Before work begins at a worksite, the employer did not ensure that a competent person identified all confined spaces in which one or more of the employees it directs may work, and identified each space that is a permit space, through consideration and evaluation of the elements of that space, including testing as necessary. On or about October 16, 19 and 20, 2015, employees entered confined spaces between the secondary clarifier diversion structure, post aeration building and the diversion structure and the employer did not ensure that a competent person identified the spaces as confined spaces and evaluated the potential hazards associated with work in the spaces.
