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:
(a)  Employees were exposed to potential hazards of oxygen
deficiency and toxic atmospheres when entering above and below
ground storage tanks for purposes of spray painting the interior
surfaces on the larger units, and welding on the interior of
same.  The employer had not established confined space entry
procedures to protect employee(s) from exposure to these haz-
ards.
Feasible means of correcting this hazard include:
(1)  Written procedures concerning a permit system, ventilation,
atmospheric testing during welding and spray painting, rescue
procedures, lock-out procedures (if applicable) and employee
training.  Conduct periodic evaluation of the effectiveness of
the procedures.
(2)  The completion and posting of a confined space entry permit
which requires authorization and approval in writing that
specifies the location and type of work to be done, such as,
welding and spray painting, and certifies that all existing and
potential hazards 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.
(4)  Testing the atmosphere of the confined space prior to entry
and on a regular basis for the presence of sufficient oxygen
(19.5%) and absence of hazardous levels of toxic or combustible
gases or vapors (maximum of 25% LEL).
(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.  Such equipment must include a safety
harness and lifeline with provisions for hoisting employees from
the confined space or when entry is required for a rescue, the
rescuing employee must be equipped with appropriate air supplied
respiratory equipment and other appropriated personal protective
equipment.
(6)  Training of any and all employees required to enter the
confined space.  This training shall include procedures required
prior to entry and the hazards associated with work inside the
confined space.
