General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety & 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
of a well:
a)     Main Wet Well, employees enter and work inside the wet
well without
following proper confined space entry procedures.  This
subjects the
employees to the hazards of being asphyxiated due to lack
of oxygen
or being overcome by toxic air contaminants.  Among other
methods one
feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this
hazard is to
establish and enforce adequate confined space entry
procedures.  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, 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
