Confined Space Emergency
No confined space shall be entered without proper authorization and training.
Confined space means a space that the space:
- Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work; and
- Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit (for example, tanks, vessels, manholes, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, and pits are spaces that may have limited means of entry.); and
- Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
- All SUNYIT staff and/or contractors must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.146 in regards to confined space identification, entry and rescue.
