scope:

John F. Rekus bridges that gap by providing the guidance needed to develop and implement an effective confined space program for plant managers, supervisors, safety professionals, and industrial hygienists.

This textbook is filled with more than 100 line drawings and more than 150 photographs, case histories of confined space accidents, including multiple fatalities, and discussions on how a confined space entry program can prevent fatalities. It also outlines the requirements of the OSHA permit-entry confined space standard and provides detailed explanations of requirements for:

• Lockout/tagout
• Air sampling

• Ventilation

• Emergency planning

• Employee training
