29 CFR 1910.146(c)(4): When the employer decided that its employees would enter permit spaces, the employer did not develop and implement a written permit space entry program that complied with 29 CFR 1910.146: (a) Production area- The employers written confined space entry policy procedure program did not reflect current workplace conditions. Examples include, but are not limited to, confined spaces listed that no longer exist and permit required confined spaces listed as being entered that are no longer entered. The program also contained requirements to sample for oxygen in some instances even though the companys air monitoring equipment is only capable of sampling for combustible gases. It also referenced rescue equipment such as harnesses, lifelines and retrieval rescue tripods that the company does not own.
