Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(h)(3): Communicate with the attendant as necessary to enable the attendant to monitor entrant status and to enable the attendant to alert entrants of the need to evacuate the space as required by paragraph (i)(6) of this section; a. On or about May 25, 2018, an employee cleaning the inside of a semi-truck tanker was pronounced dead following a confined space rescue. The employee was found to have suffered chemical asphyxia by vitiated atmosphere, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen cyanide gases. Where the hazardous atmosphere had not been eliminated prior to entry, and the space was to be treated as a permit required confined space, the entrant had not established communication with an attendant to ensure their safety.
