Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
You must identify all permit-required confined spaces in your
				workplace. Use a person with the knowledge, skills, and abilities, capable of
				identifying actual and potential hazards related to permit-required confined
				spaces and with the authority to take prompt corrective action, such as an
				entry supervisor or competent person.
Important: Identification of Permit-Required
				Confined Space(s) involves a two-step process.
Step 1:
Identify confined
				spaces.
Confined space.
A space
				that is
all
of the following:
*
Large enough and arranged so an employee could fully
				enter the space and work.
*
Has limited or restricted entry or exit. Examples of
				spaces with limited or restricted entry are tanks, vessels, silos, storage
				bins, hoppers, vaults, excavations, and pits.
*
Not primarily designed for continuous human
				occupancy.
See Appendix A Frequently Asked Questions and
				Examples of Confined Spaces by visiting the labor and industries web site
				at
http://www.lni.wa.gov/safety/rules/chapter/809/
.
Step 2:
Evaluate the
				actual and potential hazards of each confined space to identify the
				permit-required confined space(s).
Permit-required confined space or permit
				space.
A confined space that has one or more of the
				following characteristics capable of causing death or serious physical
				harm.
*
Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous
				atmosphere.
*
Contains a material with the potential for engulfing
				someone who enters.
*
Has an internal configuration that could allow
				someone entering to be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or
				by a floor, which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross
				section.
*
Contains any physical hazard. This includes any
				recognized health or safety hazards including engulfment in solid or liquid
				material, electrical shock, or moving parts.
*
Contains any other recognized serious safety or
				health hazard that could either:
(a)
Impair the ability to
			 self-rescue; or
(b)
Result in a situation that presents an immediate danger to life or
			 health.
