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 spaces, the employer did not comply with 29 CFR 1910.146(c)(1), 29 CFR 1910.146(c)(2), 29 CFR 1910.146(c)(6), and 29 CFR 1910.146(c)(8): (a) Nature Soy, LLC located at 6123 Arapahoe Road Boulder, CO 80303. On 3/31/2021 and at times prior, the employer failed to evaluate the workspace to identify permit required confined spaces, inform employees of those spaces by posting danger signs or by any other equally effective means, assess each of the spaces for hazardous conditions, or have a means to inform contractors of the hazardous conditions present. This exposes employees and contractors to engulfment and entrapment hazards.
