Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(g)(1): The employer did not provide training so that all employees whose work was regulated by 29 CFR 1910.146 (permit required confined spaces) acquired the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for the safe performance of the duties assigned under 29 CFR 1910.146: (a) On or about November 24, 2015, employees entered the Jet Zone (confined space) and the employer did not ensure that all employees which enter confined spaces were provided with adequate training on their duties to perform confined space entry and/or attendant duties; such as but not limited to: testing of air quality, control of hazardous energy sources, and rescue procedures and/or technique. This exposed employees to suffocation, entanglement and other hazards which could result in death.
