Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(c)(2): If the workplace contains permit spaces, the employer shall 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. On or about November 6, 2014, located in the fabrication shop, there were openings in the side of crude oil storage tanks that made access to the confined space available to employees without any posting of a sign that would alert employees of the permit-required confined space and the hazards associated with entering the tanks.
