29 CFR 1910.146(f)(4) Entry permit. The entry permit that documents compliance with this section and authorizes entry to a permit space shall identify: The authorized entrants within the permit space, by name or by such other means (for example, through the use of rosters or tracking systems) as will enable the attendant to determine quickly and accurately, for the duration of the permit, which authorized entrants are inside the permit space; NOTE: This requirement may be met by inserting a reference on the entry permit as to the means used, such as a roster or tracking system, to keep track of the authorized entrants within the permit space. A. Silver Eagle Refinery (SER) did not list the authorized entrants with the permit space, by name or by other such means to enable the attendant to determine quickly and accurately which authorized entrants are inside the permit space. This violation was identified during inspections of the facility from November 2009 to March 2010, Silver Eagle Refining Inc., 2355 South 1100 West, Woods Cross, UT, 84087. During review of confined space permits, many permits were noted to be missing a list of authorized entrants by name or by other such means to enable the attendant to determine quickly and accurately which authorized entrants are inside the permit space. By not completing a list of authorized entrants on every confined space permit, attendants may not be aware of how many individuals are in the confined space. In the event of an emergency, personnel could be left behind inside a confined space leading to serious injury or death. This may be a system- wide occurrence which would require the evaluation of all confined space permits, policies, and procedures throughout the facility.
