Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(c)(6): When there were changes in the use or configuration of a non-permit confined space that could increase the hazards to entrants, the employer did not reevaluate that space and, when necessary, reclassify it as a permit-required confined space: (a) On or about March 7, 2022, the employer did not implement a permit system for safely entering permit required confined spaces when cleaning chemicals were introduced into brewing vessels during cleaning tasks, and when electrical power was used to move the lauter tun rakes while conducting cleaning tasks. This exposed workers to chemical, electrical and mechanical hazards that were introduced inside the vessels during entry operations, thereby necessitating reclassification of the spaces as permit required confined spaces.
