The OSHA standard requires that authorized entrants of a permit-required confined space must know the hazards they may face, be able to recognize signs and symptoms of exposure, and understand the consequences of exposure to hazards.  Entrants must know how to use any needed equipment, communicate with attendants as necessary, alert attendants to the warning signs or the existence of a hazardous condition, and exit as quickly as possible whenever ordered to or alerted to do so by alarm, warning sign, or prohibited conditions.

Therefore, authorized entrants must receive training with respect to working in connection with permit spaces before they can enter a Permit Required Confined Space.

An attendant to a Permit Required Confined Space must know the hazards of exposures, must maintain continuous count and identification of authorized entrants, must remain outside the space until relieved, and should communicate with entrants as necessary to monitor activities inside and outside the permit space.  The attendant orders exit if required, summons rescuers if necessary, prevents unauthorized entry into the confined space, and performs non-entry rescues if required.  Attendants may not perform other duties that interfere with their primary duty to monitor and protect the safety of authorized entrants.  Attendants must receive training with respect to working with permit spaces before they can perform the above duties.

Entry supervisors with responsibility for issuing confined space permits must know the hazards of confined spaces, verify that all tests have been conducted and all procedures and equipment are in place before endorsing a permit, terminate entry if necessary, cancel permits, and verify that rescue services are available and the means for summoning them are operable.  Supervisors are to remove unauthorized individuals who enter the permit space.  They also must determine, at least when shifts and entry supervisors change, that acceptable conditions, as specified in the permit, continue to exist.  Entry supervisors must receive training with respect to working with permit spaces before they can perform the above duties.

Training with respect to working in connection with permit spaces is required of all Authorized Entrants, Attendants, and Entry Supervisors.  The objective of the training is for employees to acquire the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for the safe performance of the duties assigned.  As a minimum, the following training will be provided as follows:

The following are the ways in which Monmouth University will work with external emergency response authorities in the event of an emergency in a Permit Required Confined Space Area.

Walter Bertelson, Entry Supervisor, will direct the emergency response activities.  Attached is a list of all persons in Monmouth University who are qualified to act as Emergency Coordinators in the absence of the Entry Supervisor.  There will be at least one person present in the facility or on-call at all times who can act as an Emergency Coordinator.

This list will be updated as changes occur.  Response team members will be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The Entry Supervisor will act as a liaison with the following external emergency response authorities:

• James Gomez, Captain, W. Long Branch First Aid Ambulance Service: 911 or 229-5000
• Michael Craglia, Chief, W. Long Branch Fire Department: 911 or 229-5000
• Fred Migliaccio, Emergency Coordinator, Member, Local Emergency Planning Committee: 229-5000
• Thomas Zambrano, Emergency Planning of Monmouth University Police Department: 571-3472
• Patricia Gaughren, Clinical Director, Emergency Room, Monmouth Medical Center: 923-7311

This plan has been discussed with the above parties and is compatible with their disaster, fire and/or Confined Space Emergency Response Plans.
