Confined Spaces for Industry
OSHA's Permit-Required Confined Spaces standard (CFR 29 1910.146) is intended to protect workers from toxic, explosive, or asphyxiating atmospheres; from possible engulfment or entrapment; and from other hazards.
Under this standard, employers must:
- Identify each permit-required confined space in their workplace.
- Prevent unauthorized entry into permit-required confined spaces.
- Protect authorized entrants from hazards through a permit space program.
