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 else can I help you with?
Is an attendant required at a non permit required confined space?
No.
Which of the following is the best example of a non-permit confined space?
a space that meets the three criteria of a confined space, but does not have any additional actual or potential serious hazardous conditions
Do you need a attendant in a non permit confined space?
In a non-permit confined space, an attendant is generally not required, as these spaces are typically considered to have lower risks and do not require the same level of monitoring as permit-required confined spaces. However, having an attendant can still be beneficial for safety, as they can monitor the worker's well-being and assist in emergency situations. It's essential to assess the specific conditions of the space and follow any applicable safety regulations or guidelines. Always prioritize safety and ensure proper communication methods are in place.

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.
Who is responsible for keeping unauthorized persons from entering the permit required space?
The confined space attendant.
What are the duties of a confined space attendant?
enter the permit space to initiate an emergency rescue
What does it take to obtain a confined space entry permit?
In order to obtain a confined space entry permit, you will need to apply for it on the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries. The form s located under the WISHA portion of the website.
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?
if the commander or functional manager determines that workers or other employees will not enter permit-required confined spaces under their control, and they have been prohibited from entering
