Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
						Before employees are allowed to enter, through a manhole, the shell or drum of
						a steam boiler or an unfired steam pressure vessel for maintenance or repair,
						where such a boiler or pressure vessel is one of a battery of two or more
						boilers or vessels or is connected to another source of steam, the valves
						connecting to the steam header or other source of steam shall be closed and
						effectively blinded or two valves shall be installed with a bleeder between
						them and the valves shall be closed and bleeder open. Blow down valves and
						other valves on lines through which harmful material might accidentally flow
						back to the boiler or vessel shall be either sealed or closed and locked and
						the key retained by the employee or his supervisor while the employee is in the
						boiler or vessel. When lines are effectively blinded the valves need not be
						locked or sealed.
(b) Employees
						shall not enter or be required to enter the fire boxes, flues or combustion
						chambers of fired apparatus until:
(1) The
						pilot light, fuel and steam lines to burners entering the fire box or
						combustion chamber have been blinded, disconnected or effectively closed by the
						use of two block valves with an open bleeder between them.
(2) All probability of ignition of any solid
						combustibles in the fire box or combustion chamber has been
						removed.
