Generalized examples of confined <br /> space classifications are shown in Table 2-2, which shows the classifications into which landfill <br /> facilities may fall. <br /> Table 2-1 <br /> CONFINED SPACE CLASSES <br /> Class Description <br /> Class A Potentially immediately dangerous to life or health; a confined space which cannot <br /> be completely purged of atmospheric hazards by ventilation. <br /> Class B Dangerous, but not immediately life or health threatening; a confined space which <br /> has tested positive for air contaminants or oxygen deficiency before being <br /> ventilated, or one which has a high potential for developing hazardous atmosphere. <br /> Class C Low hazard potential spaces where the air test are negative and the atmospheric <br /> hazards are low. <br /> Source: Snohomish County Safety Manual. <br /> Table 2-2 <br /> EXAMPLE CONFINED SPACE CLASSIFICATIONS <br /> Type of Entry Classification <br /> Leachate Collection System A <br /> Sanitary Sewer B <br /> Surface Water System C <br /> Dry Well C <br /> Boiler C <br /> Excavations at Landfill C <br /> Note: The above examples of confined space classifications <br /> are generalizations.
