Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.272(g)(1)(i): The employer shall issue a permit for entering bins, silos, or tanks unless the employer or the employer's representative (who would otherwise authorize the permit) is present during the entire operation. The permit shall certify that the precautions contained in this paragraph (1910.272(g)) have been implemented prior to employees entering bins, silos, or tanks. The permit shall be kept on file until completion of the entry operations. In 2020, at the end of October and the beginning November, grain entry permits were not completed prior to entering the 50,000 bin (Bin 4) while performing cleaning tasks, exposing employees to entanglement and asphyxiation hazards.
