    Attachment_1_-_Federal_OSHA_29CFR1910_146.pdf
    The document outlines the federally mandated requirements for rescue services during confined space entries as specified by OSHA in 29CFR1910.146. It details the responsibilities of employers in evaluating and selecting rescue teams, ensuring their readiness to respond timely and effectively based on specific hazards. Employers must inform rescue teams about potential hazards and provide access to permit spaces to facilitate effective rescue planning. Additionally, the document emphasizes the necessary training and equipment for employees designated as rescuers, including personal protective equipment (PPE), first-aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training, and regular practice drills. The requirement for retrieval systems during authorized entries and the necessity of prompt chemical exposure documentation for medical treatment is also highlighted. This comprehensive approach aims to safeguard employee health and ensure effective emergency preparedness in hazardous permit spaces, reflecting the government’s commitment to workplace safety and regulatory compliance.

These visuals serve as typical examples for defining confined space access in the context of safety and operational protocols. They are likely included in a government Request for Proposals (RFP) or grant related to facility safety inspections, maintenance, or improvements. The emphasis on specific locations within the power plant indicates a focus on ensuring safety standards and compliance when accessing confined spaces, which is critical for worker safety and regulatory adherence in industrial environments.
