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:
On 2/28/89, an employee was permitted to enter a confined space brine
well located at 1501 Homewood Ave., Barberton, Ohio prior to (1)
training the employee in the potential hazards that may be involved
(2) testing the atmosphere, (3) providing necessary equipment and
personnel for rescue operations. These failures exposed the employee
to serious injuries such as fractures, respiratory damage and/or death.
One feasible and acceptable program among others, to correct this
hazard would be the following:
1) Written procedures covering a permit system, ventilation, atmospheric
testing, rescue procedures, and employee training.
2) The completion and posting of a confined space entry permit which
requires authorization and approval in writing that specifics the
location and type of work to be done and certifies that all existing
and potential hazads have been evaluated by a qualified person and
necessary protective measures have been taken to ensure the safety of
each worker.
3) Mechanical ventilation of the confined space prior to entry and
continued ventilation to provide a safe atmosphere, when determined
necessary as described in (2) above.
4) Testing the atmosphere of the confined space prior to entry and on a
regular basis for presence of sufficient oxygen (19.5%) and absence
hazardous levels of toxic or combustible gases or vapors, when
determined necessary as described in (2) above.
5) Emergency rescue procedures with a requirement that trained personnel
are available and are stationed outside the confined space with
proper equipment to provide for the rescue of persons entering the
space as determined necessary as described in (2) above. Such
equipment must include safety harness and lifelines with provisions
for hoisting employees from the confined space. If entry is required
for rescue, the rescuing employee must be equipped with approved air
supplied respiratory equipment and other appropriate personal
protective equipment.
6) Training of any and all employees required to enter the confined
spaces. This training shall include procedures required prior to
entry and hazards associated with work in confined spaces.

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:
On or prior to 2/28/89, the employer failed to apply sufficiently
designed equipment in that a model BR-31 Hi-Velocity Discharge Silencer
was installed with a stepdown exhaust port and a closed valve, located
in a brine well located at 1501 Homewood Ave., Barberton, Ohio, thus
exposing the employee to serious injuries such as: fractures,
lacerations and/or death.
One feasible and acceptable method among others to correct this hazard

to withstand the maximum pressure encountered and (2) Train employees
in the safe use of the equipment.
