I did a few searches for this info prior to starting this thread. If its already addressed somewhere else, kindly point me to it and accept my apologies.
I am working on our Confined Space Entry Program. I have all of our PRCS (Permit Required Confined Space) properly labeled.
Per OSHA, if we want to allow entry (provide permit), we need a written program with testing, PPE, buddy-systems, extraction plans, and a whole lot more of headache.
If we do NOT allow access, meaning NOBODY WILL EVER BE PERMITTED TO ENTER THE PRCS, I have to somehow control access points to prevent entry.
The access points are manways on our Stout and Premier tanks. We also have serving tanks with a top lid that is bolted. I have no idea how to "control access" with these, and I really do not want to bolt/drill/weld/mount a bunch of hardware on manyway hatches.
Has anyone already dealt with this? Got any simple fixes? Thanks!
