Entry Support Personnel
Sometimes a confined space entry can be made under OSHA 1910.146 (C) which doesn't require a rescue team, but does require continuous monitoring and ventilation by an entry supervisor throughout the entry process.
We will provide your company with an entry supervisor for your permit site to act as an OSHA competent person. This entry must have a competent person to perform all monitoring and ventilation.
We provide the competent person with gas detection and air moving equipment.
