Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The exit doors of rooms housing equipment
					 containing corrosives, flammable liquids, gases or vapors being processed or
					 tested shall swing outward except when they would swing into corridors of less
					 than five feet (1.52 m) in width. When located between two such rooms, the exit
					 doors shall swing both ways. Exit doors shall not be locked in such a manner as
					 to prevent a ready exit while the rooms are occupied.
(b) Two means of egress shall be provided
					 from any elevated platform 10 feet (3.05 m) or more above the floor or ground
					 level, on fired processing equipment, or which serves or is connected to three
					 or more vessels, and from which employees must perform operating duties, and
					 when the lack of the second means would prevent the egress of an employee in
					 case of fire or other emergency. The means of egress may be by fixed ladder,
					 stairway, ramp, walkway, or slide and shall be so located relative to each
					 other as to provide reasonably safe alternative means of egress.
(c) Fences, closely or immediately
					 surrounding flammable liquid or gas process equipment, which may hamper or
					 prevent the egress of employees in an emergency, shall have gates opening
					 outward. Such gates shall be unlocked when the area within the enclosure is
					 occupied, or other facilities affording equally quick exit shall be
					 provided.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Scope and Application. This section
					 establishes requirements for the use of chain or wire rope access equipment as
					 defined in Section
					 6755. Use of the equipment shall be
					 permitted only when it is not feasible to use fixed or portable ladders to
					 access constricted locations, such as tubes, pipes, shafts, flues, chimneys or
					 cyclones inside of pressure vessels,
(b) Equipment and materials used shall be
					 approved pursuant to Section
					 3206 of the General Industry Safety
					 Orders.
(c) Inspection and Load
					 Testing.
(1) The equipment shall be load
					 tested annually by a competent person, and the testing shall be documented in
					 writing annually by a competent person. The equipment shall be suspended
					 vertically, with the top lashing rings at full length and free of any
					 obstruction. A total static load equal to the weight rating of the equipment
					 shall be distributed throughout the length of the equipment. Stretch or sag
					 shall be determined by comparing the measurements of the vertical distance
					 between the rungs after load testing to the measurements at the time the
					 equipment was new. The appearance of any defects, signs of weakness, or undue
					 stretch or sag in the equipment under test shall result in the equipment being
					 taken out of service immediately and permanently.
(2) The equipment shall be visually inspected
					 by a competent person before each use. If any part of the equipment fails the
					 inspection, it shall immediately be taken out of service. At a minimum, the
					 visual inspection shall check for the following conditions:
(A) Broken or split rungs.
(B) Broken or split chains or cables in the
					 stringer.
(C) Damaged sections,
					 appearance of corrosion, or sharp/rough edges.
(D) Any hardware or fittings that is not
					 secure.
(E) Bent or dented rungs or
					 rails.
(F) Grease, oil or other
					 slip hazards on the ladder rungs.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The roofs of tanks and reservoirs in
					 service shall be externally inspected by a qualified person at intervals not to
					 exceed one year. Where a roof has been found to be unsafe or has not been
					 inspected, substantial barriers shall be erected to block off the entire roof
					 or that portion which is unsafe. Legible signs shall be posted at all
					 approaches to the tank or reservoir roof if the entire roof is blocked off, or
					 on the barrier facing all approaches to the defective area if only a portion of
					 the tank or reservoir roof is barricaded. These signs shall read: "DANGER -
					 UNSAFE ROOF - KEEP OFF", or equivalent wording in letters at least two inches
					 (2") in height.
(b) Work shall not
					 be performed upon the exterior of the roof or shell of a tank at a location
					 where the employee may be exposed to a hazardous concentration of flammable or
					 toxic gases or vapors. When there is reason to suspect the existence of any of
					 the hazards above mentioned, jobsite atmospheric tests shall be made and
					 employees shall be protected. This order shall not prohibit an employee, when
					 protected by approved respiratory equipment, from entering such a hazardous
					 atmosphere when necessary, provided that the work is not of a nature that tends
					 to aggravate the hazard.
(c) When
					 tank or reservoir roof plates or sheathing are suspected to be weak or
					 defective and it is necessary for employees to go onto a roof to determine the
					 extent of the weak and defective parts or to remove them, the following
					 precautions or equally safe procedures shall be used;
(1) Employees shall work at least two rafters
					 apart, be provided with and use an approved safety harness with safety line
					 securely attached to safe supports;
(2) If rafters, girders or posts are known to
					 be weak or defective over an area which cannot be spanned safely, temporary
					 shoring or support shall be installed inside the tank or reservoir before
					 employees are permitted to work on the defective roof area. If this is
					 impractical, an adequate overhead lifeline shall be installed and the employees
					 shall attach their harness to this lifeline;
(3) A standby employee shall be available
					 within sight and sound to offer assistance should an emergency arise while
					 duties are performed.

(a) Isolation of
					 equipment shall be accomplished by blinding or disconnecting and disaligning.
					 Where equipment, operations or conditions will not allow blinding or
					 disconnecting and disaligning, double blocking with a bleeder (located between
					 the block valves) may be utilized to isolate pipelines or equipment under the
					 following conditions:
(1) Written standard
					 operating procedures must be approved by the location management and be
					 available where the double blocking bleeder system will be used.
(2) Block valves used in double blocking
					 bleeder systems shall be monitored for leakage while employees are in the
					 confined space.
(3) Double block
					 valves shall be tagged and locked in the closed position. The bleeder shall be
					 tagged and locked in the open position.
(4) The bleeder valve shall be checked to
					 ensure that it is not plugged and is functioning properly.
(5) Any leakage through the bleeder valve
					 shall require a re-evaluation of the job before work continues.
(6) Discharge of leakage through the bleeder
					 valve shall be directed so as not to create a hazard if the block valve
					 fails.
(7) Before the double block
					 valve(s) is opened, a qualified person shall determine that it is
					 safe.
