Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.146(c)(3): When the employer decided that its employees would not enter permit required confined spaces, effective measures were not taken to prevent its employees from entering the permit spaces. On or about 17 November 2016, employees routinely enter a permit required confined space underneath the foam pouring platform to cut away excess tarp from the bottom plastic feeder while it was still rotating, exposing the employee to the hazards of being caught in the machinery.
