Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 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. The employer failed to protect employees from potential engulfment and atmosphere hazards associated with entering grain bins without having first followed the procedures involved with issuing an entry permit. This was most recently evident during the inspection of the facility located at 112 N Arapahoe, Wauneta, NE 69045, where the employer has employees entering the grain bins without an approved entry permit.
