Completing the Confined Space Entry Permit • All required signatures must be on the permit initials are not permitted. • Employee(s) entering the confined space is (are) the last to sign the permit only after all the safety guidelines listed on the back of the permit have been satisfactorily complied with. • Changing of any dates and/or times once written on the permit is strictly prohibited. • All spaces must be filled in and not left blank. All safety guidelines on the reverse side of the permit must be addressed and answered "yes" or"not necessary". Standby Observer's Rules • Employee(s) working within a confined space must be under constant observation and/or communication with a fully instructed standby employee. • Any employee assigned as a standby observer must be first aid and CPR trained, with current certification, or comply with the requirements of Precautions for Emergencies Involving Working Confined Space. • Before anyone is permitted to enter a confined space a standby observer's checklist must be completed and submitted to the supervisor for review. • The standby observer will post the confined space entry permit only after the standby observer's checklist has been completed contains the signatures of the observer and the Supervisor. • Standby observer's checklist must be completed for each confined space entry permit. The Supervisor's name and or project number will identify the checklist. • All standby observer's checklists will be maintained at the project and filed numerically. • Upon completion of the project the checklists will be filed in the safety office. PERSONNEL DECONTAMINATION: Decontamination for Level C and Level B will be as follows: • Remove tape used to seal the gloves and boots and placed in the dedicated disposal counter for PPE • Remove Tyvek ®, coated Tyvek or equivalent coveralls (for Level B remove outer coveralls) in the PPE disposal container • Remove boot covers and place in the PPE disposal container • Remove outer covers and place in the PPE disposal container • Boots will be inspected and checked for further decontamination, as needed • Remove respirators or face masks and place on the equipment table for decontamination • Remove inner coveralls (Level B) and place in the PPE disposal container • Place inner gloves in the PPE disposal container. If cold weather liners are used, place them in a dedicated receptacle for machine washing and subsequent reuse NOTE: The water repellency of non-coated Tyvek and similar garments is due to the surface tension of water and the resistance of the Tyvek fiber to wetting. The presence of surfactants (e.g., detergents) in the water completely defeats the water-repellent properties of Tyvek. Therefore, non-coated Tyvek and similar fabrics should never be exposed to detergent and water solutions during the decontamination process. EQUIPMENT DECONTAMINATION: Contamination prevention techniques will be used wherever feasible. Equipment decontamination will be performed as described in the Work Plan.
