Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(c)(1): The employer shall evaluate the workplace to determine if any spaces are permit-required confined spaces. NOTE: Proper application of the decision flow chart in Appendix A to section 1910.146 would facilitate compliance with this requirement. a. On or about November 6, 2014, located in the fabrication shop, the employer did not evaluate the crude oil storage tanks for hazards before employees entered the permit-required confined spaces to perform welding operations, thereby exposing the employees to the hazards associated with working in a confined space.
