Because confined spaces offer limited means of entry or exit and may contain hazards, employees must comply with 29 CFR 1910.146 and the Tarleton State University Confined Space Entry Program when working in these areas. The Confined Space Entry Program is available from the Safety Office. If you have any questions about confined spaces, contact the Safety Office.
