Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.1203(b)(1): The employer did not inform exposed employees by posting danger signs or by any other equally effective means, of the existence and location of, and the danger posed by, each permit space: Note to paragraph (b)(1). A sign reading "DANGER-PERMIT-REQUIRED CONFINED SPACE, DO NOT ENTER" or using other similar language would satisfy the requirement for a sign. On or about October 16, 19 and 20, 2015, employees entered confined spaces between the secondary clarifier diversion structure, post aeration building and the diversion structure and the employer did not ensure that employees were informed of the existence, location and danger posed by the spaces by posting danger signs or any other equally effective means.
