Authorized Attendants

Authorized attendants must be able to monitor situations inside and outside confined spaces so they can order entrants to evacuate a space if a dangerous situation arises in either place. Attendants must be well aware of the hazards of the confined space and also aware of the physical and behavioral effects of hazard exposure so that they would notice the effects in any of the entrants. If an emergency situation arises in the confined space, the attendant is the person responsible for summoning emergency services and performing whatever rescue operation he or she has been trained and equipped to perform. Another responsibility is keeping all unauthorized entrants out of the confined space. Under no circumstances is an attendant permitted to leave the space until replaced by another attendant or all entrants have come out of the space.
