V. TRAINING <br /> No employee shall be assigned tasks which require entry into a permit- <br /> required confined space before successfully completing a Permit-Required <br /> Confined Space Entry Training Program. <br /> The Project Manager is responsible to ensure that adequate training is <br /> completed by employees required to work in or about permit-required <br /> confined spaces. <br /> As a minimum, the training for Authorized Entrants, Attendants, Entry <br /> Supervisors, and rescue personnel shall include the following: <br /> 1. Recognition of what constitutes a permit-required confined space and <br /> the hazards that may be encountered, including information on the <br /> mode, signs or symptoms, and consequences of exposure. <br /> 2. Ventilation, cleaning, and purging of the space. <br /> 3. How to test and monitor for oxygen levels, flammability, and know of <br /> suspected toxic substances to determine if the confined space <br /> atmosphere is safe for employees. <br /> 4. Work procedures, including the use of safety lines, harnesses, and <br /> communication procedures. <br /> 5. Personal protective equipment required (clothing, respirators, boots, <br /> etc.). <br /> At a minimum, annual training is required. Training must also be provided <br /> before an employee is first assigned permit space duties, before there is a <br /> change in assigned duties, or whenever field experience indicates the need <br /> for refresher training. Records of such training including each employee's <br /> name, the signature of each trainer, and the dates of training shall be kept <br /> for 5 years. <br /> ADNUMS/CONSP 7 June 2, 1994 <br />
