What is a confined space?
an enclosed area with limited entry and exit points, not designed for continuous occupancy, and that poses a risk to health and safety.
How often should we test our H2S monitor?

What device is used in an emergency to notify entrants of a confined space?

How do you perform a Seal Check?
Cover the outlets with your palms where your cartridge thread on and suck in and blow out to simulate positive negative pressure.
There are two signal words used for hazardous transport. What are they?
Warning & Danger
True or False.
A oxygen enriched environment is 19.5% or below?
False
Where should the SDS be provided for a chemical?
On the chemical or within reach of it.
What is the most effective hazard control?
Elimination
what is the OSHA rule for Facial Hair?
prohibits employees from wearing respirators with tight-fitting facepieces if there is any hair growth between the skin and the facepiece sealing surface

FALSE
True or False. OSHA states that a harmful chemical stored in a small amount does not need an SDS.
False. All chemicals stored and accessible to employees or have the potential to be exposed to must have a SDS.
You are hole watching for a permit confined space entry on a steel water vault. You're atmospheric monitoring starts alerting you to low oxygen. What would you do? And what potentially what might be the cause of lack of oxygen?
Sound an air horn to let entrants know to exit. Potentially the steel rust may be making this an oxygen deficient environment through oxidation. Atmospheric monitoring may not be working correctly if bump test is due. Ventilation be be off or insufficient.
A permit confined space is taking place. You are the hole watch and another work party signs onto the permit. They try to enter with half faces and the permit states full face respirators. They persist and tell you that the operator told them half faces. What do you do?
Stop them from entering. Call operations and get clarification if the separate work party may downgrade after atmospheric testing is completed.
