Authorized Entrants

Authorized entrants are employees who have been trained and approved to enter a confined space. These employees must have had training regarding the potential hazards of the confined space, as well as the signs and symptoms of overexposure to any of the hazards. They should be familiar with all equipment, know if the equipment is explosion-proof, and know how to tell when it is properly grounded. Authorized entrants must know how to communicate with the attendant, especially if a prohibited condition or a hazardous situation arises. Entrants must agree to exit immediately if an order is given to do so or an alarm goes off. Entrants must wear full-body harnesses with retrieval lines attached to the center of their backs or above their heads or wristlets if full-body harnesses are shown to be infeasible.
