Entry permit

Not all existing procedures or program elements of the overall health and safety program need to be incorporated into the HASP. For example, if noise is a hazard, the plan does not have to cite the entire hearing conservation program. Procedures already established elsewhere may be referenced, as applicable. In another example, if a confined-space-entry procedure is required, the HASP could reference the particular procedure which is part of the overall program. The next step would be to identify confined spaces at the worksite where the procedure applies, and then provide appropriate implementation procedures (e.g., conditions to be monitored, evaluation of the space, issuance of an entry permit). If special operational procedures apply to the worksite, they can be attached to the HASP using an appendix. 

Employees stated that they had received confined space training and were prepared to perform confined space rescue, but they had not rehearsed rescue procedures. In addition, the confined space entry permit form for both contractors did not ask for all required information. For example, the form did not require documentation of the duration for the permit, the intended communications procedures for entry operations, or documentation of hot work performed during confined space entry operations. Completed permits did not contain documentation of hot work performed during confined space entry operations, even though hot work had been performed during such operations at least twice during the project. 

Entry The breaking of the plane by any part of the body at the opening of a space that requires an entry permit. 

A man was overcome by fumes while removing residues from a tank with a high-pressure water jet. When the entry permit was issued, no one realized that fumes might be evolved when the residue was was disturbed [14]. 

The welders should have known that they should never enter a vessel until they or their foreman has checked that the vessel is isolated. by slip-plates or disconnection, and has accepted (and signed) an entry permit. Power supplies should have been disconnected, or if merely locked off, each person entering should have added his or her personal lock and kept the key. It is hard to believe that this was the first time normal good practice had not been followed. The management system was at fault. 

On the day of the accident, an instrument meehanic entered a 2-m tank to adjust the instruments. There was no written entry permit because the people concerned believed, mistakenly, that entry permits were not required in a new plant until water or process fluids had been introdueed. Although the tank was only 6 ft tall and had an open manhole at the top, the meehanic collapsed. An engineer arrived at the vessel about five minutes later to see how the Job was getting on. He saw the mechanic lying on the bottom, climbed in to rescue him, and was overcome as soon as he bent down. 

When the plant is still in the hands of construction, the nonual permit-to-work procedure is not necessary, but an entry permit system should be in force. Before anyone enters a vessel, it should be inspected by a competent, experienced person who will certify that it is isolated and free from danger. While a tank is being built, when the walls reach a certain height (say, greater than the diameter) the... 

Where such internal inspection work is carried, out a safety checklist and processes for confined space entry permit system and tag-out/lock-out MUST be undertaken before any person enters the boiler. The inspection of waterside surfaces should be carried out by a suitable qualified person and will benefit from employing either an instant camera or a video camera (Horoscope or similar fiberoptic-based device) to record any parts of the boiler where corrective action is needed. 

All confined space entry permits procedures and other safety regulations must be followed. 

Disaster was adverted when a safety technician entered the control room as part of an unrelated confined space entry permit. The technicians portable oxygen measuring instrument was activated and in the operating mode. The low-level oxygen alarm sounded, warning the people in the control room of the very serious condition.

After the Second World War, Crowfoot became a member of the Science for Peace organisation. Membership in this organisation caused her to be denied a visa to attend a meeting in the United States during 1953. For the next 27 years, she had to obtain a special entry permit from the Attorney General to attend scientific meetings in the United States. Only in 1990, at the age of 80, did the State Department relent and approve a visa application. 

Driving vehicles onsite, hot work and safe entry permits, use and disposal of hazardous materials, emergency evacuation procedures, and first aid. 

Any electrical equipment connected to the column should be locked out and any radiation sources should be removed or shielded. The mere removal of fuses is unsatisfactory, as fiises can easily be (inadvertently) replaced. Ignition sources should be removed from the vicinity of the column. Any exceptions (e.g., electric lighting equipment) should be carefully examined and clearly stated on the entry permit. 

A fresh entry permit should be issued each day and no entry should take place before its issue. To ensure that there can be no misunderstanding about this, a copy of the entry permit should be posted at the tank entry point. 

A tank entry permit can only be valid if essential conditions do not change. When cleaning sludge from a tank it is possible to strike pockets of solvent occluded in the sludge. When this possibility exists a constant check on the atmosphere is required and an automatic monitor should be specified.

Attachments to the JSA can include any permits or documents necessary to control the hazards specified within the JSA (e.g., confined-space entry permits, excavation and trenching permits).

Prior to beginning work in a confined space, workers should receive entry permits. A confined space permit system requires the identification of the space and an evaluation of the potential hazards. Supervisors and safety specialists must each agree and sign that all pre-entry evaluations and work and rescue preparations were completed and the space is ready for safe entry. 

Signatures are common for confined space entry permits, hot work permits, lockout/tagout procedures, and other safety procedures. Before restarting a process, a signature of the person in charge will mean he approves and accepts any repairs or changes. 

The permit-required confined spaces standard defines a "confined space " lists specific employee training requirements, equipment, and personal protective equipment required prior to entry and communications and emergency procedures. Appendix A to the 1910 standard also includes an informative Permit-Required Confined Space Decision Flow Chart, as well as an example of a Confined Space Entry Permit. 

This regulation requires that all permit-required spaces be identified, evaluated, and controlled. Procedures for entry must exist. Appropriate equipment and training for authorized entrants must be provided. Entry supervisors and attendants must be trained and present, and a written/signed entry permit should exist prior to entry. Trained and available rescue personnel shall (over one-half of the deaths in confined spaces are rescuers) be available. The space must have posted warning signs and barriers erected, and personal protective equipment and rescue equipment must be provided. 

Entry permit (permit)—The written or printed document provided by the employer to allow and control entry into a permit space and that contains the information shown in an approved entry permit. 

Another important function of the attendant or other designated person involved in permit-required confined space entry is to ensure that imau-thorized entry into the confined space is prevented. Before any permit-required confined space entry can be made, a proper confined space entry permit must be used. When employees from more than one work center... 

The previous paragraph sums up OSHA s requirements under its confined space entry standard in 29 CFR 1910.146(e), Permits System, and 1910.146(f), Entry Permit. OSHA s requirements under these sections are intended to ensure that... 

Confined space entry permits must be available to all permit space entrants at the time of entry and should extend only for the duration of the task. As we stated previously, the permits must be retained for a year to facilitate review of the confined space program.
