General-duty citation text

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 working conditions and recognized hazards of being overcome by toxic
gas and/or oxygen deficient atmospheres while entering into and working
inside a pit 82 feet deep in the sewage pump house.
(a) Building No. 50, sewage pump house, the employer did not ensure
that employees followed a confined space entry procedure when
required to enter an 82 foot deep pit to perform valve repacking
and monthly greasing.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to establish and enforce adequate confined space
entry procedures, such as those stipulated by ANSI Z117.1-1989.  These
procedures include developing a program that includes a permit system,
atmospheric testing, an assigned attendant who keeps constant direct
communication during the time the employee is inside the confined space,
a program of isolation and lockout, emergency response procedures including
rescue equipment, such as harnesses and lifelines, and training of
employees required to enter the confined space and training of standby
attendants.
