29 CFR 1910.146(d)(3)(iv): Under the permit-required confined space program required by 29 CFR 1910.146(c)(4), the employer did not develop and implement the means, procedures, and practices necessary for safe permit entry operations, including providing purging, inerting, flushing or ventilating the permit space as necessary to eliminate or control atmospheric hazards: The written permit-required confined space program did not specify how to set up and use the ventilation equipment to eliminate or control the atmospheric hazards during Food Grade/Fuel side tank railcar entry. Passive and mechanical ventilation was provided prior to entry, but not during entry to maintain acceptable entry conditions.
