29 CFR 1910.146(d)(13): Under the permit-required confined space program required by 29 CFR 1910.146(c)(4), the employer did not review entry operations when the employer had reason to believe that the measure taken under the permit space program would not protect employees and did not revise the program to correct deficiencies found to exist before subsequent entries were authorized: a. On or about May 3, 2012, the employer reviewed entry operations which included permits that documented entry into permit spaces. The employer failed to revise the program to correct deficiencies documented on the permits including, but not limited to, lack of adequate mechanical lifting devices in all necessary areas, lack of entry supervisor authorization prior to entry and lack of appropriate attendants during entry operations.
