A non-permit confined space is an area that meets the definition of a confined space but does not require a permit for entry according to OSHA regulations. This typically means the space does not have any hazardous conditions that could pose a risk to workers, such as toxic fumes, lack of oxygen, or the potential for engulfment. However, it is still important for workers to be aware of the space's limitations and potential hazards. Safety procedures should be followed, even in non-permit confined spaces, to ensure worker safety.

What is a characteristic of a confined space that makes it a permit-required confined space?
A confined space is designated as a permit-required confined space if it contains or has the potential to contain hazardous atmospheres, such as toxic gases or insufficient oxygen. Additionally, it may have a configuration that could impede entry or exit, and it may pose other safety risks, such as engulfment or entrapment. These characteristics necessitate a formal permit system to ensure safety measures are in place before entry.
What are the duties of a confined space attendant?

What document is mandatory on site when entry into a manhole is required?
confined space entry permit
How can the oxygen level in a permit-required confined space be made safer?
Improve the ventilation rate
What must be done if oxygen deficiency occurs 19.5 percent during a permit required confined space entry?
If oxygen levels fall below 19.5% during a permit-required confined space entry, all entrants must stop work immediately and leave the confined space. No one may reenter that space until testing shows that adequate oxygen levels have been restored.
A Written Permit Required Confined Space Program Document is not required?

What are the latest OSHA regulations on confined space entry?
The employer shall ensure that every worker who enters a confined space or who performs related work, receives adequate training, in accordance with the relevant plan, to work safely and properly; Confined Space Awareness courses should be an effective and interactive way to keep you and your employees up-to-date with Confined Space training requirements. This course is designed to create awareness of hazards, precautions, and the regulations associated with confined spaces; it will be especially helpful for those workers whose jobs are related to permit required confined spaces. The learning objectives are to Understand confined spaces and their types, Comprehend the responsibilities of the employers and workers, Explore the major provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, recognize hazards associated with permit-required confined spaces and their precautions. The confined spaces training course will help you to identify, define and classify a confined space, define a permit-required confined space, refer to the standards and the regulations related to confined spaces, better understand the hazards associated with confined spaces, work safely within a confined space, follow the procedures associated with confined space entry, identify the proper safety equipment needed in confined spaces, and prepare an emergency response plan.OSHA has a new 8 hour confined spaces training program that aims to make the student:Understand the scope & application of OSHA's various confined space entry standardsIdentify "Confined Spaces", then determine if they are "Permit Required"Understand OSHA requirements for developing and maintaining a "Permit-required confined space entry program" / permitKnow responsibilities of entrants, attendants, entry supervisors, contractorsIdentify when you may utilize OSHA's "Alternate Entry" and "Reclassification" proceduresUnderstand the requirements for "Rescue & Emergency Services"Have a basic knowledge of the general use and limitations of related equipment
