Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(c)(6): When there were changes in the use or configuration of a non-permit confined space that could increase the hazards to entrants, the employer did not reevaluate that space and, when necessary, reclassify it as a permit-required confined space: a) In the North Division Vault of the North LDS Pond, on or about August 29, 2017 - The employer failed to reevaluate and reclassify the vault as a permit-required confined space before mechanical contractors began to open the 24-inch LDS pipe line which introduced a water engulfment hazard, hydrogen sulfide atmospheric hazard and hazards associated with oxygen fuel gas torch use into the space.
