			 Definitions.
(a) Competent person is somebody
			 who can identify existing and predictable hazards and take measures to
			 eliminate them.
(b) Confined space
			 is a space that:
(A) Is large enough and so
			 configured that an employee can bodily enter and work; and
(B) Has limited or restricted entry or exit
			 (for example, tanks, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, and pits
			 may have limited entry); and
(C) Is
			 not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
(c) Engulfment is the covering of a person by
			 a liquid or finely divided (flowable) solid substance that when inhaled causes
			 death or that can exert enough force on the body to cause death by
			 strangulation, constriction or crushing.
(d) Entry is passing through an opening into
			 a hazardous or confined space. Entry includes work in the space and occurs when
			 any part of the entrant's body breaks the plane of an opening into the space in
			 a way that creates a hazard.
(e)
			 IDLH Atmospheres. Atmospheres immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH)
			 are those with less than 19.5 percent oxygen by volume, or which because of the
			 high toxicity of the contaminant, would endanger the life of a person breathing
			 them for even a short period of time.
(f) Oxygen deficient is an atmosphere with
			 less than 19.5 percent oxygen by volume.

			 to sustain life; or
(B) Mechanical
			 or natural ventilation provides at least one complete change of uncontaminated
			 air immediately before entry and continues during enclosure occupancy;
			 or
(C) The person entering the area

			 control the hazard and the employee doing the work controls the plug totally.
			 It also does not apply to work on vehicles when the person doing the work has
			 the ignition key under their exclusive control and there are no other sources
			 of hazardous energy that could be released without the key.

To make it easy to use the right
				extinguisher, the NFPA 10 Extinguisher Standard uses the following system of
				classification: Class A: Fires of ordinary combustible materials (such as wood,
				cloth, paper, rubber, and many plastics) requiring the heat-absorbing (cooling)
				effects of water, water solutions or the coating effects of certain dry
				chemicals that retard burning. Class B: Fires of flammable liquids, flammable
				gases, grease and similar materials where extinguishment is best done by
				excluding air (oxygen), inhibiting the release of combustible vapors or
				interrupting the combustion chain reaction. Class C: Fires of energized
				electrical equipment where safety to the operator requires the use of
				electrically nonconductive extinguishing agents. (Note: For nonenergized
				electrical equipment, Class A or B extinguishers may be best.) Class D: Fires
				of certain combustible metals, such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium,
				potassium, etc., requiring a heat-absorbing extinguishing medium not reactive
				with the burning metals.
(2) Original labels and marking on
			 extinguishers must remain attached and legible.
(3) Mount fire extinguishers on hangers,
			 brackets, in cabinets or on shelves. The maximum height of the top of the
			 extinguisher above the floor is: [Table not included. See ED. NOTE.]
(4) Do not obstruct fire extinguishers. They
			 must be in plain sight or clearly mark their location.
(5) Paths to and space in front of fire
			 extinguishers must be clear and free from obstruction.
(6) Inspect fire extinguishers yearly or more
