1. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY

a. The purpose of this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to ensure Engineering Service Line staff and contractor personnel are aware of the potential dangers posed by permit-required confined space entry and establish procedures for PRCS entry and PRCS entry permits. This SOP must be followed by any AVAHCS employee or contractor who, for any reason in the performance of their duty, is required to enter a confined space.

b. For contractors entering PRCSs, a copy of this SOP will be provided (hard copy or electronically) for review. Additionally, the contractor shall provide documentation indicating that all contract employees involved in PRCS entry has been properly trained with this document to include signatures from each contract employee.

c. This SOP sets forth mandatory procedures and processes to ensure compliance with OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.146, Permit-Required Confined Spaces.

2. PROCEDURES: Depending on the type of enclosure, its contents, and planned operations, the following procedures are required for PRCS entry:

a. Pre-testing of the atmosphere for oxygen levels, combustible gases, toxic gases, and vapors (in that sequence) requires a technically qualified/certified person.

b. Institution and implementation of practices and procedures (e.g., isolation, purging, flushing, ventilation) to eliminate and/or control hazards.

c. Continuous monitoring of the atmosphere to assure that control measures are effectively controlling hazardous atmospheres.

d. Training (documented) of each employee before assignment of duties. This training should include a review of emergency escape procedures, first aid procedures, personal protective equipment use, lock-out/tag-out procedures, and use of any other applicable equipment. If respiratory protection is required, provide the current

July 2024 SOP 02-04 respirator fit testing documentation. The documentation shall include each employee’s name, the signatures of the trainers and the dates of the training.

e. Lockout/tag-out of plumbing, electrical, and mechanical energies. Current Lockout/tagout training completed to satisfy OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 shall be provided.

f. Appointment of standby personnel (e.g., entry supervisor, entrants, attendants, and emergency personnel) and explanation of communication procedures, rescue apparatus, and rescue procedures.

g. Review of specialized tools and equipment such as: personal protective equipment devices, retrieval systems, ventilating equipment, and explosion-proof equipment.

h. Establishment of entry permit system which documents: the space to be entered, purpose of entry, date of entry, duration of entry, authorized entrants, authorized attendants, entry supervisors, hazards, control measures, results of tests, rescue and emergency procedures, communication procedures, special equipment, and/or any other special permits needed.

i. Conclusion of entry procedures, including canceling permits and closing procedures.

j. Record-keeping, to document training, safety drills, inspection and maintenance of equipment, and atmosphere test results, shall be kept in a central location within the Safety Office.

3. ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES

a. The Chief Engineer, Engineering Service Line, is responsible for developing and maintaining a confined space entry program to include the following:

(1) Identify permit-required spaces in advance; assess the hazards of said spaces before employees enter them, and post signs requiring a permit prior to entry.

The sign should read "DANGER - PERMIT REQUIRED! CONFINED SPACE, DO NOT

ENTER (CALL EXT. 206115 OR 202752)".

(2) Implement the measures necessary to prevent unauthorized entry.

(3) Define and perform special sampling procedures required and determine work procedures and/or safety equipment to be used to control hazards.

(4) Provide pedestrian, vehicle, or other barriers as necessary to protect entrants from external hazards.

(5) Provide at least one attendant outside the permit space into which entry is authorized for the duration of entry operations.

(6) Develop and implement procedures to coordinate entry operations when employees of more than one employer are working simultaneously as authorized entrants in a permit space.

(7) Implement a program to: prepare, issue, use, and cancel confined space entry permits (Attachment A).

(8) Tailor emergency procedures and rescue capabilities for each job site;

prevent unauthorized personnel from attempting a rescue.

(9) Provide for all specialized and emergency equipment required for a confined space entry program.

(10) Provide initial and periodic training (bi-annually) for confined-space entry to those personnel concerned, including the use of specialized equipment. Review procedures with entry supervisors and provide instruction on special hazards associated with entry prior to any confined-space work.

(11) Audit PRCS entry procedures and verify compliance with all standards.

(12) Record all pertinent information on all training and PRCS entry data and maintain entry permits for a period on one year.

(13) Annually review the permit space program using canceled permits, occurrences of injuries/near misses, unauthorized entries, the detection of a condition prohibited by the permit and employee complaints about the effectiveness of the program.

b. ENTRY SUPERVISOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES: The entry supervisor must be technically qualified by training and shall:

(1) Perform prior planning of procedures and equipment and entry permit to be issued by the entry supervisor.

(2) Know all hazards that might be encountered upon entry into PRCSs, including modes of exposure, and signs, symptoms, and consequences of exposures. This includes providing SDS for all hazardous chemicals that will be used in the PRCS.

(3) Verify that all requirements (e.g., testing, permits, equipment), are met before allowing entry, using PRCS Entry Permit (Attachment A) and Hot Work Permit (Chapter 5, Section 6, Attachment B).

(4) Terminate entry when work covered by permit is complete or if hazardous conditions arise that are not allowed by permit, as specified in paragraph (e) (5) of

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146.

(5) Contact Fire Station # 24 in Decatur, GA at (404) 508-7590 at least 48 hours prior to PRCS entry to pre-plan rescue services. On the day of confined space entry, verify that rescue services are available and there is a way to notify them of any emergency. Cellular phone should be used to notify DeKalb County (911). Two-way radio should be used to call "code 99".

(6) Remove all unauthorized personnel from the area during entry operations.

(7) Determine that all provisions and exposure levels are maintained according to the entry permit.

c. AUTHORIZED ENTRANTS' RESPONSIBILITIES: Authorized entrants must:

(1) Know all hazards, including modes of exposure, and signs, symptoms, and consequences of exposures.

(3) Use all specialized and emergency equipment as required by the standard or permit.

(4) Maintain constant communication with attendant.

(5) Alert attendant to any prohibited conditions and/or adverse symptoms.

(6) Exit the space quickly when ordered out or when adverse conditions are detected.

d. AUTHORIZED ATTENDANT'S RESPONSIBILITIES: The authorized attendant must:

(1) Know and understand all hazards that exist, including modes of exposure, as well as signs, symptoms, consequences, and physiological effects of exposure.

(2) Remain immediately available and vigilant during confined-space work, performing no other duties until properly relieved.

(3) Account for all authorized entrants during the confined-space work.

(4) Communicate with entrants to ensure their status.

(5) Monitor conditions to be sure of entrants' continued safety, order an evacuation when prohibited conditions exist.

(6) Perform all non-entry rescues with retrieval equipment and summon rescue and emergency medical units as soon as determined to be necessary.

(7) Keep all unauthorized personnel out of area of entry and inform the authorized entrant and the entrant's supervisor of any unauthorized entry.

e. CONTRACTOR AND OTHER: When the medical center utilizes’ employees of another employer (contractor) to perform work involving permit space entry, the medical center shall:

(1) Inform the contractor the workplace contains permit spaces and permit space entry is allowed only through compliance with a permit space program which meets or exceeds all requirements of 29 CFR 1910.146 (Permit-required Confined Spaces).

(2) Apprise the contractor of all elements, including the hazards identified and the host employer's experience with the space, that make the space in question a permit required space.

(3) Apprise the contractor of any precautions or procedures the host employer has implemented for the protection of employees in or near permit spaces where contractor personnel will be working.

(4) Coordinate entry operations with the contractor when both host employer personnel and contractor personnel will be working in or near permit spaces.

(5) Debrief the contractor at the conclusion of the entry operation regarding the permit space program process followed and regarding any hazards confronted or created in the permit spaces during the entry operation.

4. DEFINITIONS: Hazards can frequently be compounded by such conditions as poor lighting, communication difficulties, limited means of egress, and worker unfamiliarity with surroundings and procedures. Hazards that may be encountered in confined spaces can include, but are not limited to, the following:

a. Hazardous atmospheres - conditions that expose employees to the risk of death, incapacitation, and inability to escape the confined space unaided, injury and/or acute illness. Such conditions could be caused by flammable gas, vapor, or mist more than ten percent of the lower flammable limit (LFL); toxic materials which exceed the short-term exposure limit (STEL) and time weighted average (TWA); combustible dusts exceeding the lower explosive limits (LEL); oxygen-deficient (below 19.5%) and/or oxygen-enriched concentrations (above 23.5%).

b. Explosions and fires that could be caused by combustibles, flammables, explosives, and/or oxygen-rich areas.

c. Potential for engulfment associated with materials such as loose soils, sand, sawdust, and/or wood chips, which could bury employees.

d. Falls or falling objects, which could include slippery floors and materials dropped from above.

e. Temperature extremes (heat and cold), which can cause heat stroke and/or hypothermia.

f. Exposure to hazardous energy which could include electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic energy, released to actuate machinery. Excessive noise could also present a problem in this realm.

g. Exposure to toxins that could include chemicals and biological and/or radiological materials.

h. Miscellaneous hazards which could include rodents, snakes, spiders, and/or materials such as fumes entering from adjacent areas.

i. Confined spaces include but are not limited to; storage tanks, vats, pits, degreasers, boilers, ventilation ducts, exhaust ducts, sewers, underground utility vaults, fuel tanks and/or cells. A permit-entry confined space is any space that by design is large enough to allow an employee to enter to perform work, has limited openings, and is not intended for continuous occupancy. This area could have poor natural ventilation, contain, or produce dangerous air contaminants, contain materials that might engulf an employee, and/or be designed so an employee may become trapped.

j. Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) means any condition that poses an immediate or delayed threat to life or that would cause irreversible adverse health effects or that would interfere with an individual's ability to escape unaided from a permit space.

k. Hot work permit means the employer's written authorization to perform operations (for example, riveting, welding, cutting, burning, and heating) capable of providing a source of ignition.

l. Acceptable entry conditions - the conditions that must exist in a permit space to allow entry and to ensure employees can safely renter and work within the space.

m. Authorized Attendant - an individual stationed outside one or more permit spaces who monitors the authorized entrants and who performs all attendant's duties assigned in the medical center's permit space program.

n. Authorized entrant - an employee who is authorized and trained to enter permit confined spaces.

o. Blanking or blinding - the absolute closure of a pipe, line, or duct by the fastening of a solid plate (such as a spectacle blind or a skillet blind) that completely covers the bore and that can withstand the maximum pressure of the pipe, line, or duct with no leakage beyond the plate.

p. Double block and bleed - the closure of a line, duct, or pipe by closing and locking or tagging two in-line valves and by opening and locking or tagging a drain or vent valve in the line between the two closed valves.

q. Emergency - any occurrence (including any failure of hazard control or monitoring equipment) or event internal or external to the permit space that could endanger entrants.

r. Engulfment - the surrounding and effective capture of a person by a liquid or finely divided (flowable) solid substance that can be aspirated to cause death by filling or plugging the respiratory system or that can exert enough force on the body to cause death by strangulation, constriction, or crushing.

s. Entry permit - the written or printed document that is provided by the employer to allow and control entry into a permit space.

t. Entry supervisor (foreman, work leader) - the person responsible for determining if acceptable entry conditions are present at a permit space where entry is planned for authorizing entry and overseeing entry operations and for terminating entry if warranted.

u. Hazardous atmosphere - an atmosphere that may expose employees to the risk of death, incapacitation, impairment of ability to self-rescue (that is escape unaided from a permit space), injury, or acute illness from one or more of the following:

(1) Flammable gas, vapor, or mist more than 10 percent of its Lower Flammable Limit (LFL)•,

(2) Airborne combustible dust at a concentration that meets or exceeds its LFL.

(3) Atmospheric oxygen concentrations below 19.5 percent or above 23.5 percent.

(4) Employee's excess exposure to any toxic or hazardous substance.

(5) Any other atmospheric condition that is immediately dangerous to life or health.

v. “Inerting” - the displacement of the atmosphere in a permit space by a noncombustible gas (such as nitrogen) to such an extent that the resulting atmosphere is non-combustible.

NOTE: This procedure produces an IDLH oxygen-deficient atmosphere.

w. Isolation - the process by which a permit space is removed from service and completely protected against the release of energy and materials into the space by such means as: blanking or blinding; misaligning or removing sections of lines, pipes, or ducts; a double black and bleed system; lock-out or tag-out all sources of energy; or blocking or disconnecting all mechanical linkages.

x. Line breaking - the intentional opening of a pipe, line, or duct that is or has been carrying flammable, corrosives, or toxic materials, an inert gas, or any fluid at a volume, pressure, or temperature capable of causing injury.

y. Non-permit confined space - a confined space that does not contain or, with respect to atmospheric hazards, have the potential to contain any hazard capable of causing death or serious physical harm.

z. Permit - required confined space - a confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics:

(1) Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere.

(2) Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant.

(3) Has an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section.

(4) Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard.

aa. Permit system - the employer's written procedure for preparing and issuing permits for entry and for returning the permit space to service following termination of entry.

bb. Rescue service - the personnel designated to rescue employees from permit spaces.

cc. Retrieval system - the equipment (including a retrieval line, chest, or full-body harness, wristlets, and a lifting device or anchor) used for now-entry rescue of persons from permit spaces.

dd. Testing - the process by which the hazards that may confront entrants of a permit space are identified and evaluated. Testing includes specifying the tests that are to be performed in the permit space.
