Confined Space Flashcards
During a permit required confined space entry, a contractor employee approaches the attendant and asks to enter the confined space to help with the job. Should the attendant allow the person into the confined space?
Yes, as long as the employee has completed confined space training, has been tailboarded by the entry supervisor and is logged into the personnel roster by the attendant.
What procedure controls confined space entries, controls confined space inventory and is referenced on confined space signage?
OM6.ID3
You are inspecting the tunnels at Intake when you observe piles of rotting sea life and notice an odor like rotten eggs. You begin to feel dizzy. This could be because of:
Hydrogen sulfide gas or ammonia
You are going to work inside the fire water storage tank which has been classified as a permit required confined space. The only hazard is that it needs ventilation. A crew installs blowers that safely ventilates the space inside the tank. This is an example of a PCRS that can be entered by:
Alternate entry procedures
A regular (non-permit required) confined space does not require an attendant (True/False)
True. An attendant is not required for entry into a non permit required confined space.
It would make the job in a confined space much easier if you were to have some tanks of compressed air in the space with you. They were not on the original plan. In order to get them into the confined space you need:
to get the approval of the Industrial Safety Department or their designee and include them on the permit.
Where can you find a list of attendants and all the entrants for a particular confined space?
The confined space personnel roster
You are going to make an entry into a PRCS which requires a rescue plan. What are the requirements for the rescue team?
They must be notified and present at the tailboard.
You are working in a ventilation system which is a non-permit required confined space and you need to do some welding in there. What should you do?
contact the Industrial Safety Department before proceeding.
A space classified as a Permit Required Confined Space may never be reclassified as a non-permit space no matter what the conditions are. The risks are too large for reclassification (True/False):
False
A crew is getting ready to work in a Permit-Required Confined Space when a new person appears among them. Whose duty is it to challenge the person to see if they are authorized to be in the confined space?
The confined space attendant
You want to enter a permit required confined space under “Alternate Entry Procedures.” In order to do that you must:
provide continuous forced air ventilation to purge and control atmospheric hazards.
A confined space is a space that:
has limited or restricted means of entry or exit.
Which DCPP Group maintains the confined space inventory and updates it as changes occurs?
The Industrial Safety Department
The difference between a non permit required confined space and a permit required confined space is that
a non permit required confined space does not contain or have the potential for a physical or atmospheric hazard that can inhibit a person’s ability to safely exit the space.
