Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(d)(3): Under the permit-required confined space program required by 29 CFR 1910.146(c)(4), the employer did not develop and implement the means, procedures, and practices necessary for safe permit space entry operations: a) Employees were not complying with the company's written Confined Space Non-Permit - Permit Required Instruction. Employees were utilizing alternative procedures described in 29 CFR 1910.146(c)(7) for entry into all identified permit required confined spaces. The company's written Confined Space Non-Permit - Permit Required Instruction does not include reclassification procedures nor have the identified permit required confined spaces been evaluated to determine if the potential hazards and configuration of the confined spaces meet the inclusion requirements of 29 CFR 1910.146(c)(7). ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION AND ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION REQUIRED.
