Text For Citation: 03 Item/Group: 024F Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.146(f)(13) Entry permit. The entry permit that documents compliance with this section and authorizes entry to a permit space shall identify: Equipment, such as personal protective equipment, testing equipment, communications equipment, alarm systems, and rescue equipment, to be provided for compliance with this section; A. The employer did not ensure the entry permit contained a completed list of equipment, such as testing equipment, communications equipment, alarm systems, and rescue equipment. 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. None of the 7 randomly selected confined space entry permits, provided as MDDW 1-UOSH-211, showed a completed list of equipment, such as testing equipment, communications equipment, alarm systems, and rescue equipment. Without identifying equipment necessary, safe entry may not take place, exposing employees 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.
