Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 009A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(c)(2): In a workplace which contains permit spaces, the employer did not inform exposed employees, by posting danger signs or by any other equally effective means, of the existence and location of and the danger posed by the permit spaces. NOTE: A sign reading DANGER -- PERMIT-REQUIRED CONFINED SPACE, DO NOT ENTER or using other similar language would satisfy the requirement for a sign. (a) Roggen Farms, 36401 Weld County Road 24 1/2, Roggen, CO 80652: On and before April 11, 2012, the exposing employer did not effectively post a sign warning employees of where permit-required confined spaces were located. Confined space was the surgetank located under the mill and accessed by employees periodically to clean. Lack of adequate warnings exposed employees to the hazards of a permit required confined space in a remote location.
