Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The
employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were
free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to
the hazard of written confined space entry procedures not being
established and enforced to protect the worker hand drying the interior
compartments of tank trucks from the recognized hazards of being
overcome by toxic vapors or oxygen deficient atmospheres, on or about

Among other methods to correct this hazard is to establish procedures
which include the following:

competent person signs and issues the permit. The permit is an

and type of work to be done, certifies that all existing hazards
have been evaluated ny a qualified competent person and necessary
protective measures have been taken to ensure the safety of each
worker.
b) Requiring that emergency rescue equipment be available in the
immediate area of confined space so that rescue can be performed
almost immediately if needed. An appropriate harness or other
effective device should be worn by person(s) in the confined space
to facilitate rescue.
c) Requiring that someone be readily available in the immediate area of
the confined space who is currently trained in emergency rescue,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and first aid procedures.
d) Requiring only individuals that are physically fit for the job to
enter confined spaces.
e) Establishment of a training program which includes:
