Complying with OSHA's Regulations for Permit-Required Confined Space Entry

Overview

Permit-required confined spaces pose increased risk of exposure to serious physical injury or death from hazards including entrapment, engulfment, and hazardous atmospheric conditions to employees. Without the proper equipment, procedures, or knowledge, a worker exposed to hazardous atmospheric conditions in a confined space could experience brain damage or death in four minutes. The OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.146 provides regulations to protect employees entering permit-required confined spaces. Is your workplace fully compliant with the OSHA standard?
