CITY OF RENTON PUBLIC WORKS
MAINTENANCE DIVISION
(Water, Wastewater, Surface Water, and Equipment Rental Sections)
CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PROGRAM
I. OVERVIEW
This entry program:
— Describes our procedures for worker safety and health in confined spaces and is written for our
Public Works Department as staff in this department may enter confined spaces.
— Describes how we manage permit required confined spaces
— Describes required training for our employees and describes our responsibility for contractors
entering City confined spaces
City of Renton Public Works confined spaces include:
a. Reservoirs,
b. Manholes/Catch Basins/non-potable water pipelines Dry wells,
c. Wet Wells/Lift Station,
d. Dry Wells/Lift Station
e. Chemical storage vault
f. Water Storage Tanks/Tanks
g. Vaults
For locations or a listing of Public Works Confined Spaces please refer to the Attribute Book or Map Books
Attribute or Map Books are available at the City Shops, In PW trucks, At City Hall in the Public Works
Department and on the RentonNet ( Intranet) Specific entry procedures for each type of space are provided in
the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) attached to this plan.
A confined space is a space that is ALL of the following:
• Large enough and arranged so an employee could fully enter the space and work.
• Has limited or restricted entry or exit. Examples of spaces with limited or restricted entry are tanks,
vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, and pits.
• Not primarily designed for human occupancy.
A permit -required or permit space is a confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics
capable of causing death or serious physical harm:
Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere.
Contains or has a potential to contain a material with the potential for engulfing someone who
enters the space.
- Has an internal configuration that could allow someone entering to be trapped or asphyxiated by
inwardly converging walls or by a floor, which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-
section.
Contains any physical hazard. This includes any recognized health or safety hazards including,
electrical shock, or moving parts.
Contains any other recognized safety or health hazard that could either:
Impair the ability to self -rescue or result in a situation that presents an immediate danger to life or
health.
A non -permit space is a space that does not contain actual hazards or potential hazards capable of causing
death or serious physical harm.
The City of Renton will treat all confined spaces as permit -required spaces until they have been evaluated and
are documented to be non -permit or alternate entry. City Of Renton (COR) Permit -required confined spaces
will only be entered into by Public Works employees when non -entry rescue can be used. Public Works
employees at the City of Renton do not perform entry rescue. The following criteria must be met to be
considered a non -entry rescue space:
a. The opening is at least 18 inches in diameter
b. The size and stature of the entrant along with his/her PPE and any tool -belt can clear the opening
c. There is a horizontal and stable surface surrounding the opening to support a tripod or davit and the
attendant
d. The weight of the entrant and his/her equipment does not exceed the rating and purpose of the
retrieval winch
e. The length of lifeline cable is adequate for the entrant to remain attached while working in the space
f. The retrieval system (harness and lifeline) can be used without the entrant or harness getting caught on
anything while working, or in the event he/she needs to be hoisted out of the space with the retrieval
system
g. Once inside the space the entrant will not travel over baffles or beyond protruding pipes or obstacles in
the direction of travel where the harness or lifeline could become caught
Note: All Public Works employees at the City Shops (except administrative staff and transportation) are
trained in confined space entry.
Prior to daily work in Public Works confined spaces, the Department supervision will meet with each employee
involved for a group briefing. The briefing will consist of a review of every confined space to be visited on that
day. The supervisor will also review the known hazards of each space, the City entry procedures, required
equipment, planned rescue, non -entry rescue procedures, and any other information necessary for safe entry.
This will be a time for staff to ask questions, make suggestions or voice concerns. The "Public Works Confined
Space Review Checklist" will be used for this briefing (see Appendix A). Every permit filled out for the day will
be attached to the Public Works Confined Space Review Checklist and kept on file for 18 months. Reviews of
these confined space entry records will be performed every year by the Administrator or his/her designee.
Employee exposure monitoring, if done for any confined space entry, will be kept in employee files for 30
years. Completed permits and checklists that show the actual atmosphere an employee entered or worked in
will be kept for 30 years as employee exposure records.
When opening a manhole lid to assess or observe, City employees will not break the plane of the space with a
body part. Once the plane of the space has been broken or is intended to be broken a permit is required. All
confined spaces are considered to be permit required until they have been evaluated and are documented to
be non -permit or alternate entry.

III. CONTROL OF ENTRY
1. Every employee who enters a confined space or encounters a fall hazard of 10 feet or more
shall ensure that all provisions of this procedure and the fall protection work plan have been satisfied
prior to entry and/or commencement of work. WAC 296-155-24505 requires a fall protection work
plan if the fall hazard is 10 feet or more. The requirements for fall protection and a fall protection work
plan are triggered at 10 feet.
WAC 296-809-50016 requires that a mechanical retrieval device be at the site if the entry is 5 feet or
deeper.
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 4 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
WAC 296-24-75003 and 75005 (walking and working surface code) requires protection from a working
surface with a fall hazard of 4 feet or more if anyone is close to an open man hole, vault, etc. or
standing on a walking surface near the opening. The City requires an attendant be standing and
monitoring the location to keep the person from falling into the hole. Alternatively, guardrails can be
used to mitigate the fall hazard.
When going up or down a fixed ladder, the fall protection trigger height increases to 24 feet before fall
protection is needed. If the space is 24 feet or greater, the City requires a harness be used at all times
2. We use the following method(s) to inform employees about the existence and hazards of confined
space, and to prevent unauthorized entry:
❑ Pre -entry briefing with supervisor
❑ Signs posted at each permit space reading "Danger- Confined Space- Do Not Enter" or similar
language
❑ Barriers
❑ Never leaving the confined space unattended when entry is occurring
❑ Listing hazards for confined space in the Attribute Books
The Attendant will take the following actions when unauthorized persons approach or enter a space:
• Warn unauthorized persons to stay away from the space
• Tell the unauthorized persons to exit immediately if they have entered the space
• Inform Entrants and the Entry Supervisor that unauthorized persons have entered the
space
4. If the work area contains, or is, a permit area, a placard stating "Danger Permit -Required Confined
Space — Follow Entry Procedure before Entering" will be located conspicuously outside the area.
5. Confined Space Supervisor/manager will prevent unauthorized employees and the public from
entering permit -required confined spaces. Supervisor/manager will also inform affected employees
about the existence, location, and danger of any permit -required confined space by posting danger
signs.
IV. EQUIPMENT PROVIDED TO EMPLOYEES AT NO COST
The City will provide the equipment in Table 2 below, when needed, and will:
Make sure that employees use provided equipment properly, and
2. Maintain the provided equipment at no cost to employees. Equipment is kept in the Shops
warehouse and the water parts store room. Air monitoring equipment is maintained by Oscar
Cantu, Lift Station Technician and Sean Campbell, Maintenance Worker III. The manufacturers'
representative (from National Safety) will train City of Renton staff on the use and maintenance
of all confined space monitoring equipment.

for repair.
The Entry Supervisor is responsible for safe entry and for the issuance of all oxygen and gas detectors and
other sampling and/or safety equipment. The entry permit shall be completed prior to entering or
commencement of work. The manager, supervisor, and lead worker shall know the proper operation of all
sampling and/or safety equipment. The person responsible for confined space and/or fall protection work
plan safety who is listed on the entry permit shall know the proper operation of all equipment to be used and
shall be responsible for ensuring the employee is trained in the operation of the equipment.
V. GENERAL CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PROCEDURES
City of Renton Public Works entry procedures for confined spaces include the initial assignment by the
Supervisor, Manager, or Lead. Once assigned, the crew has an AM briefing with Supervisor. During the AM
briefing they discuss every aspect of entry , SOP/Permit / and Pre -Entry Checklist. All CS entry is typically pre -
scheduled, if during routine maintenance they discover a new CS the crew will determine if entry is necessary
it will be assigned a date of entry and a pre -briefing will occur prior to entry. The information regarding the
new space will be catalogued along with attributes of the space. An engineer will assign a space number and a
category. The entry check list will be presented to the Supervisor/Manager/Lead to be used for scheduling of
the entry at a future date. If there is an emergency or urgent need to enter a confined space, the lead,
supervisor or manager will meet with the crew at the entry site and discusses the hazards involved before
entering.
Prior to work that requires entry into Public Works confined spaces, the Department supervision will meet
with each employee involved for a group briefing. The briefing will consist of a review of every confined space
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 6 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
to be entered on that day. The supervisor will also review the known hazards of each space, the City entry
procedures, required equipment, planned rescue, non -entry rescue procedures, and any other information
necessary for safe entry. This will be a time for staff to ask questions, make suggestions or voice concerns. The
details obtained in the Public Works Confined Space Review (or pre -entry) Checklist" will be used for this
briefing.
A. In the pre -entry meeting, identify and evaluate potential hazards from:
1. The confined space; and
2. The work to be performed.
B. Complete an entry permit before entry is authorized, documenting that you have completed the
means, procedures and practices necessary for work and safe, non -entry rescue.
C. Make sure that Entrants or their representatives have an opportunity to observe any monitoring,
testing, or actions to eliminate or control hazards performed to complete the permit.
D. Identify the Entry Supervisor.
Make sure the Entry Supervisor signs the entry permit, authorizing entry, before the space is entered.
Make the completed permit available to entrants or their authorized representatives at the time of
entry by posting the completed permit at the entry location; or by involving each staff person present
at the entry site in the completion of the permit and the review of the completed permit
G. Make sure the duration of the permit does not exceed the time required to complete the assigned task
or job identified on the permit.
H. Entry Supervisors will make a visual check of crews making entries to assure correct procedures are
being followed and safety precautions are being taken and any problems encountered during an entry
operation will be noted on the permit. This information will be used by management to make
appropriate revisions to the program, entry operations, means, systems, procedures and practices as
needed. The permit will document how it was determined that the confined space contained no
permit -required hazards.
All entrants and attendants will have a company -issued cell phone or a two-way radio for
communication when verbal and line of sight communication is not possible. Where possible, visual
contact and verbal communication is more effective and practical.
VI. EVALUATE AND CONTROL HAZARDS FOR SAFE ENTRY
A. The Entry Supervisor will evaluate atmospheric hazards for safe entry into confined spaces with a
multi -gas meter. They will test for atmospheric hazards in this order: oxygen content, flammable
gasses and vapors, and potential toxic air contaminants.
B. The following limits are used for safe entry:
a. Oxygen: between 19.5% and 23.5%
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 7 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
b. Combustible Gases: less than 10% of the lower explosive limit (LEL)
c. Toxic Gases and Vapors: Hydrogen Sulfide (HzS) less than 5ppm
d. Carbon Monoxide (CO): less than 20ppm
e. If combustible dust that reduces visibility to five feet or less is observed, entry will not continue.
C. The entry supervisor will provide each entrant or their authorized representative the opportunity to
observe pre -entry testing and subsequent testing.
D. The entry supervisor will ensure that pumps and lines are blocked or disconnected; when unable to
block or disconnect we will perform permit entry:
a. All pumps and lines which may reasonably cause contaminants to flow into the confined space
will be disconnected, blinded, and locked out/tagged out, or effectively isolated by other means
to prevent development of dangerous air contamination or engulfment.
b. Not all lateral lines to sewers or storm drains require blocking. However, where experience or
knowledge of use indicates a reasonable potential for contamination of air or engulfment into
an occupied sewer, then all affected lateral lines are to be blocked.
E. Surveillance: The entry supervisor and/or attendants will survey the surrounding area prior to entry to
avoid hazards such as drifting vapors from the tanks, piping, or sewers.
VII. MONITORING OF CONFINED SPACES
A. The Entry Supervisor will re-evaluate the space in the presence of any entrant, or his/her authorized
representative, who requests this to be done because they have reason to. believe that the evaluation
of that space may not have been adequate.
B. Upon request, immediately provide each entrant or his/her authorized representative, with the results
of any testing required by this rule.
C. The Attendant will continuously monitor conditions in areas where entrants are working.. Always
monitor, even if you can isolate!!
Evaluate space conditions during entry as follows:
Evaluating Space Conditions
You must: In order to:
The Entry Supervisor must Determine that acceptable entry
test conditions before entr conditions exist before entry is authorized
y by the Entry Supervisor
The Attendant must test or Determine that acceptable entry
evaluate space conditions conditions are being maintained during
continuously during entry entry operations
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 8 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
Make sure Entrants of more than one
The Entry Supervisor must employer working at the same time in or
evaluate entry operations around a permit -required confined space
don't endanger each other
Vill. SAFE ENTRY PROCEDURES INTO CONFINED SPACES
The Entry Supervisor responsible for the safety of entry, as named on the entry permit, shall evaluate, plan,
and implement the procedures necessary to safeguard the personnel assigned to the job. The planning
conducted at the pre -entry briefing will ensure the availability of required safety equipment, its serviceability
and a thorough analysis of potential hazards from unplanned events or actions which could alter the plan. An
entry permit shall be completed for each separate job, each day. In applying these procedures, consideration
shall be given to specific conditions that exist at the time. The pre -entry briefing helps to anticipate the
potential hazards during permit entry and identify controls that will limit the possibility of employee exposure
should the conditions of the permit space change significantly. Worst -case scenario will always be planned
for.
A. Safety Equipment- For the purpose of this procedure, at least the following will be available:
Oxygen and gas detectors and other sampling devices as needed.
2. Blowers and auxiliary equipment as designated for entering confined spaces.
3. A safety harness and life line for the entrant
4. All confined spaces over 4 feet deep shall be entered via safely installed confined space steps or
a separate ladder of appropriate length.
5. Ear protection from noise, protective clothing for heat, electrical or corrosive hazards, and
respirators shall be worn, as needed.
6. Appropriate traffic control signs -devices and guards to protect the confined space and workers
shall be utilized.
B. Entering Confined Spaces
Before entering, warning devices, guards, etc., will be installed by the crew to provide adequate
protections to workers and the public. The Entry Supervisor and/or Attendant will visually
check around the outside of the confined space first, then carefully remove cover before
testing.
To remove the cover, lift the lid just enough to insert the testing device to get an accurate test.
This should be done in such a way as to avoid sparks. The crew will never use an open flame to
thaw ice around a cover. Initial testing of a confined space atmosphere will be done through
holes in the confined space cover where possible. The potentially toxic atmosphere will be
tested for oxygen and flammability then hydrogen sulfide, or carbon monoxide depending on
the space.
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 9 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
Never strike a seated cover with a steel or iron tool, and exercise care to reduce
the potential for sparks. If needed, a hardened bronze cold chisel or some other non -
sparking implement should be used.
b. If the initial test checks within limits listed in section VI, the entrant or attendant
will remove the confined space cover and prior to entry, test again! If all tests are
within limits listed above, the confined space may be entered. Upon initial entry, the
attendant will take additional tests with the appropriate meter. Test generally at all
areas and levels of the confined space. All monitoring results will be documented on
the permit.
Even if all tests are within allowable limits, confined spaces that are 15 feet deep or greater
shall be purged initially with a power blower with a fresh supply of air for at least 5 changes of
air but never less than 5 minutes. Ventilation is available at all times.
4. The atmosphere shall be monitored continuously by the Attendant (not by the entrant).
Document results every 15 minutes. All work shall stop and the confined space evacuated if
atmospheric testing fails. Re-entry sampling shall be conducted after ventilation has been
provided. Sampling should be conducted anytime a confined space is reopened or for crew
changes.
5. If atmospheric conditions are measured and found to be outside acceptable operating
conditions, evacuate the space and perform the following procedures:
- For oxygen deficiency, evacuate the space and ventilate for 5 air changes and test again. All
staff are trained in ventilation and air changes. Do not enter an atmosphere that tests below
19.5% oxygen (or greater than 23.5%) by volume. If you cannot get a safe reading, close the
confined space and contact your supervisor. The minimum ventilation time shall be 5 minutes.
- If flammable gases are detected above 10% of the lower explosive limit, evacuate the space.
Close the confined space and advise the supervisor.
C. Pumps and lines:
- All pumps and lines which may reasonably cause contaminants to flow into the sewer are
disconnected, blinded, and locked out/tagged out, or effectively isolated by other means to prevent
development of dangerous air contamination or engulfment by PRCS crew.
- Not all lateral lines to sewers or storm drains require blocking. However, where experience or
knowledge of use indicates a reasonable potential for contamination of air or engulfment into an
occupied sewer, then all affected lateral lines are to be blocked.
D. Protective clothing and gloves shall be worn when entering a confined space, wet well or sewer. In
spaces which do or could contain corrosive chemicals which are toxic through contact, special
equipment to prevent skin or eye contact shall be worn. Emergency wash stations are installed at
facilities that have corrosive hazards, or portable eyewash kits are included in vehicle first aid kits.
E. All workers shall wear a hard hat when working in a confined space.
All crew members working at a confined space entry shall carry a current first aid card recognized by
the Department of Labor and Industries.
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 10 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
G. Lighting - The National Electrical Code requires special lighting equipment for work in confined spaces
which may contain a flammable atmosphere. The City shall provide the intrinsically safe equipment
and no other equipment shall be used. All portable lights and tools shall be "explosion proof" when
working in potentially flammable atmospheres.
H. Supervisors shall ensure that workers in confined spaces are not exposed to chemical, physical and
biological agents. The best assurance is that we evaluate the confined space and do not enter if these
agents are present and cannot be eliminated.
No matches, lighters or any other items capable of producing a spark or flame (other than approved
tools) are allowed in a confined space. Radio, flashlights, lanterns, lighted smoking materials shall not
be used within 10 feet of an open confined space.
Entry Supervisors shall ensure that adequate procedures are implemented to prevent foreign objects,
tools, rocks, dirt, water, etc., from entering a confined space
K. Hot work permits shall be required prior to doing hot work in a confined space. Hot work means any
work which requires the intentional use of an ignition source of any type which could ignite flammable
gases or vapors, i.e. a cutting torch, welding apparatus, etc. See the City Hot Work policy and utilize a
hot work permit if this work is to be performed in a confined space.
L. If a confined space is determined to be an entry rescue confined space —stop work, do not enter under
any circumstances close the vault and call a supervisor. If hazardous atmospheres cannot be eliminated
the space is determined an entry rescue permit -required confined space.
M. All Entrants and Attendants will have a company issued cell phone or a two-way radio available for
communication if verbal and visual communication is not practical.
Never enter until the atmosphere tests safe.
Never enter a contaminated or an oxygen -deficient atmosphere.
If you are not sure - don't go in.
If you smell anything different or feel different - get out now!
IX. ENTRY RESCUE AND NON -ENTRY RESCUE PROCEDURES
The City of Renton does not perform "Entry Rescue" in permit -required confined spaces. The City performs
non -entry rescue only. The City will contract out any entry rescue work. The contractor we use for entry
rescue PRCS with hazards that can't be mitigated is NRC Environmental Services, or other City -approved
contractor.
When performing non -entry rescue, the Entry Supervisor and Attendant must
• Use non -entry retrieval systems or methods to rescue entrants in a permit -required confined space
unless this:
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 11 of 29
Last Updated 11/7/2011
-Would increase the overall risk of injury to entrants
or
-Wouldn't contribute to the rescue of the entrant.
If either of the above conditions are present, NRC Environmental will do the confined space entry and
rescue work.
• Make sure each Entrant uses a full -body harness, with a retrieval line attached to the harness at one
of the following locations:
- At the center of the employee's back, near shoulder level.
- Above the employee's head.
- At another point which presents a profile small enough for the successful removal of the
employee.
• Attach the retrieval line to an approved safe mechanical device or fixed point outside the space, so
rescue can begin as soon as necessary. This is typically a tripod or davit.
• Make sure a mechanical device is available to retrieve entrants from vertical spaces more than 5 feet
(1.52 m) deep.
X. ALTERNATE ENTRY PROCEDURES
As of this writing, the City of Renton treats all confined spaces as permit -required confined spaces and
does not use alternate entry procedures. If in the future it becomes appropriate to use alternate entry
procedures, we will document the space conditions and follow the procedures in this section.
Spaces that have hazardous atmospheres as their only hazard will use alternate entry procedures.
Alternate entry procedures require the use of a City of Renton Confined Space Entry Permit.
Management will make sure, when using alternate entry procedures, that monitoring and inspection data
supports the following:
-That the only hazard of the confined space is an actual or potentially hazardous atmosphere.
-That continuous forced air ventilation alone is all that is needed to maintain the confined space for
safe entry.
-Make sure all documentation produced is available to each affected employee and their
authorized representative.
The City of Renton will do all of the following when using alternate entry procedures:
A. Reduce unsafe conditions before removing entrance covers. Remove lid carefully (see Section
B-2A). Engulfment hazards must be 100% eliminated to be considered alternate entry.
B. After removing entrance covers, promptly guard the opening with a railing, temporary cover, or
other temporary barrier to prevent accidental falls through the opening and protect entrants
from objects falling into the space.
C. Certify that pre -entry measures have been taken (such as safe removal of the cover and having
protection needed to gather pre -entry data), with the date, location of the space, and signature
of the person certifying.
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 12 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
D. Make the pre -entry certification available to each entrant before entry.
E. Before an employee enters the confined space, test the internal atmosphere with a calibrated,
direct -reading instrument for all of the following, in this order: oxygen content, flammables and
toxins.
If gases are found or an oxygen deficiency exists, the following procedure should be
implemented:
1. Ventilate continuously until atmosphere is brought to normal limits of 19.5% to 23%
oxygen, less than 10% of the LEL, less than 20 ppm carbon monoxide, and less than 5
ppm hydrogen sulfide. Once you demonstrate atmosphere is at acceptable levels you
may enter under alternate entry. The attendant will continue to monitor during entry.
Gas and oxygen testing shall be performed continuously, no matter how "clean" the
confined space seems to be.
2. If ventilation does not eliminate the hazards and at any time the concentrations exceed
10% of the lower explosive limit, cease operations. Close the confined space and
advise the supervisor. You have now determined that a permit and permit -entry
procedures are required for entry into this space.
Blowers should be located so there are no unnecessary bends in the hose. One 90-
degree bend reduces the blower capacity to 70% of rated capacity. Two bends of 90-
degrees reduces capacity to 50% or by half. Blowers shall be located so they will not
pick up exhaust gases or fuel vapors (e.g. gasoline, propane, etc. from vehicles, heaters,
furnaces, or the blower engine. The blowers should operate for one minute, to flush
out the hose, prior to placing it in the confined space.
3. The entry supervisor or attendant will provide entrants, or their authorized
representatives, with an opportunity to observe the pre -entry and periodic testing.
Make sure the atmosphere within the space is not hazardous when entrants are
present.
4. Use continuous forced air ventilation, as follows:
- Wait until the forced air ventilation has removed any hazardous atmosphere before
allowing entrants into the space.
- Direct forced air ventilation toward the immediate areas where employees are, or will
be, and continue ventilation until all employees have left the space.
- Provide the air supply from a clean source and make sure it does not increase hazards in
the space.
5. Test the atmosphere within the space continuously to make sure hazards do not
accumulate.
6. If a hazardous atmosphere is detected during entry, we will do all of the following:
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 13 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
Evacuate employees from the space immediately.
- Evaluate the space to determine how the hazardous atmosphere developed.
- Implement measures to protect employees from the hazardous atmosphere before
continuing the entry operation.
Verify the space is safe for entry before continuing the entry operation.
The written documentation is available on site to each employee entering the space or
to that employee's representative.
Safety harnesses shall be worn with any alternate entry into a confined space, unless re-
classifying to a non -permit.
A parachute or chest type of harness shall be used which will facilitate the emergency
removal from the space.
8. All entrants and attendants will have a company issued cell phone or a two-way radio
for communication while in a confined space.
XI. CLASSIFY A CONFINED SPACE AS A NON -PERMIT SPACE
As of this writing, the City of Renton treats all confined spaces as permit -required confined spaces.
Currently, there are no spaces we classify as non -permit. If in the future it becomes appropriate to classify
a space as non -permit, we will document the space conditions and follow the procedures in this section.
A confined space will be classified as a non -permit as long as no hazards exist in or around the space. The
permit shall be filled out prior to entry. If a hazard is present, you must follow all requirements of this part
that apply, to make sure any space you classify as non -permit does not have the potential to contain serious
health or safety hazards. Examples of permit -required confined spaces that may be considered for
reclassification as non -permit in the future include storm manholes, tanks, and vaults with blanked pipes,
valve and PRV vaults which have been isolated by shutting off valves.
Make sure the confined space meets these conditions to be classified as non -permit confined space:
A. The confined space does not contain an actual or potential hazardous atmosphere.
B. The confined space does not contain hazards capable of causing death or serious physical harm. This
includes any recognized health or safety hazards including engulfment in solid or liquid material,
electrical shock, or moving parts.
C. If a crewmember must enter to remove hazards, the space must be treated as a permit -required
confined space until hazards have been eliminated. If controlling atmospheric hazards through forced
air ventilation does not eliminate the hazards it remains a permit -required confined space but will be
entered using alternate entry. The supervisor should evaluate the use of lockout-tagout to determine
if using it fully eliminates the hazard.
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 14 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
You are allowed to use alternate entry procedures covered in WAC 296-809-600, if you can
demonstrate that forced air ventilation alone will control all hazards in the space.
Documentation on the permit that no permit -required hazards exist will include the following:
- The date, location, and signature of the person making the determination.
- How we determined that no permit -required hazards exist.
- Documentation will be available to entrants or their authorized representatives by asking the
entry supervisor or posting at the entry to the space.
XII. TRAINING
The City provides training to each employee involved in confined space activities, so they acquire the
understanding, knowledge and skills necessary to safely perform their assigned duties, establish proficiency in
their duties, and to introduce new or revised procedures as necessary.
Classroom training is provided to employees. A copy of the most recent training presentation by an outside
contractor, Argus Pacific, Inc., is provided as an attachment to this plan.
We will provide confined space training to employees at the following times:
- When hired upon orientation they will be trained to the City of Renton Confined Space policy,
before they are assigned confined space duties, so new employees are aware of our confined
spaces. They will receive certification training before they are asked to actually enter a confined
space.
- When their assigned duties change.
- When there is a change in a space that creates hazards for which they have not been trained.
- If we have reason to believe that there are deviations from City procedure for entry or employee
knowledge or use of procedures is inadequate.
The new employee will receive a copy of our policy and procedure, will be shown a confined space
video, and will observe confined space entry until trained and certified for entry by confined space
consultant. The new hire will not enter a Confined Space until Confined Space certified.
Supervisors will determine proficiency by observing employee performance during entry, during
training exercises.
The Supervisor will verify employee proficiency in their assigned duties by observing as they
perform their work. Certification is issued by a consultant and will contain each employee's
name, the trainer's written or electronic signature or initials, and the dates of training.
Certificates are available for inspection by employees or their authorized representatives. The
City uses Argus Pacific, Evergreen Safety and United Rentals for Confined Space training.
Training is provided annually.
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 15 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
Following are 6 basic categories of training, based on duties and potential exposure:
I. City supervisors provide awareness training to all employees potentially exposed to permit spaces,
covering the following:
a. The location and hazard of each space
b. The company program for confined space
c. Emphasis on not entering the space for any reason.
2. The City provides a consultant for entry and exit training for the following team members:
a. Entrants
b. Attendants/non-entry rescuers
c. Entry Supervisors
3. Training on how to manage entries for entry supervisors is provided by a consultant.
4. Pre -entry procedure training provided by a consultant for all:
a. Entrants
b. Entry Supervisors
c. Attendants/non-entry rescuers
5. A consultant will provide training on evaluating and testing for:
a. Entry supervisors
b. Staff assigned to test and evaluate the space
6. Retraining for employees when there is any reason to believe they are not proficient at their duties
will be provided by the City or consultant as needed.
The City will have annual practice sessions for all employees entering confined spaces. Annual practice
sessions will allow each employee the opportunity to enter a space and be observed and perform non -entry
rescue practice. Each employee will play the role of entrant, the attendant and the entry supervisor. Training
will be provided on each typical representative type of space. Employees will also practice inspection of and
troubleshooting rescue equipment. The annual practice session will be documented and kept on file for 5
years. In accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, rescue equipment dedicated.for use in practice
sessions will be kept separate from equipment used in actual confined.space entry in the field.
XIII. OUR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR CONTRACTORS ENTERING CITY OF RENTON CONFINED SPACES
A. The City of Renton Confined Space Entry Program is available on the Renton City website. The City
includes standard language provisions in its capital improvement project contracts and its construction permit
conditions requiring each contractor to:
Review and be familiar with the City's on-line Confined Space Public Works Entry Program.
2. Review documented information about the City confined spaces in which entry is
intended as listed and described in the City's Attribute and Map Book. This information
includes identified hazards for each permit -required confined space.
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 16 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
3. Each contractor shall have their own confined space entry program. Upon request of the City
they will provide a statement confirming they are in compliance with their confined space entry
program including requirements for confined space training for employees associated with the
project in Renton.
4. Be responsible for following all confined space requirements established by the provisions in
WAC 296-809 and its chapters.
Coordinate entry operations with the City of Renton when employees from the contractor will
be working in or near City confined spaces.
6. Discuss entry operations with the City of Renton including the program followed during
confined space entry.
7. Debrief the City on any hazards confronted or created at the completion of entry
operations.
6. Place signs stating, "Danger, Follow Confined Space Entry Procedure Before Entering" at each
confined space to be entered. Never leave the confined space open and unattended.
B. The contractor's or consultant's point of contact with the City in regard to confined space entry will be
the City's assigned construction inspector and/or the City's project manager.
XIV. OUR RESPONSIBILITIES WITH HOST EMPLOYERS (CITY OF RENTON ENTERING ANOTHER EMPLOYER'S
CONFINED SPACES
Obtain any available information about confined space hazards and entry operations from the host employer.
Our Entry Supervisor will do the following to make sure entry operations are coordinated with host employers:
Obtain any information on the hazards of the permit space and information from previous entry
operations
2. Determine if other workers will be working in or near the space.
3. Coordinate entry operations with other workers
4. Inform the host employer of the confined space program that we follow.
5. Hold a debriefing conference at the completion of the entry operation, or during the entry operation if
needed, to inform the host employer. of any hazards confronted or created during work in the space.
6. Inform the employer of any hazards you confronted or created while in their space
XV. RESCUE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES
The City of Renton does not provide entry rescue services as we do not enter permit required confined spaces
unless non -entry rescue procedures apply. We contract out for those services with qualified consultants or
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 17 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
contractors. These qualified consultants or contractors provide their own rescue operations. One of the City,'s
contractors for entry -rescue and emergency services is
NRC Environmental Services
26328 79 Ave. S.
Kent, WA 98032
2S3.872.8988
Emg Resp.1.800.33.SPILL
The City has a list of other contractors they may use, these include Veolia, Onyx, Envirospace, Atmos. Inc.
and Foss Enviornnmental.
❑ For emergency situations in a confined space, the entry teams will work together to assess and
determine if 911 services will be called. All staff is certified in CPR. All trucks are equipped with a two-
way radio for dispatch. If immediate hazards to injured personnel are present, workers at the site will
implement emergency procedures without entering the sewer. When it is practical, the full -body
harness is used to suspend a person upright and a hoisting device or similar apparatus is available for
lifting workers out of the sewer. If at any time the use of a hoisting device or full -body harness and
attached lifeline will endanger the worker, their use will be discontinued
We train employees on the specific procedures for summoning the rescue and emergency services. When
needed, we call 911. City staff performing entry -rescue is cause for discipline up to and including termination.
Procedures for Safely Removing Workers from Sewers (Non -Entry rescue)
If Then
There is any questionable action or — Perform a verbal check.
non -movement by the worker inside
— Immediately remove the worker from the sewer if there
is no response —use non -entry removal
The worker is disabled due to falling — Do not remove the worker from the sewer unless there
or impact is immediate danger to the worker's life.
— Notify local rescue personnel immediately.
— Make sure the standby worker doesn't enter the
sewer in this case.
• Only trained rescue personnel (wearing self
contained breathing apparatus-SCBA) will
enter to perform a rescue.
— Make sure all workers entering the space use a full -
body harness with attached lifeline with the free end of
the line secured outside the entry opening.
— Make sure the standby worker uses the lifeline to
attempt to rescue a disabled worker without entering the
space and summons rescue services based on their
assessment of the situation.
XVI. REQUIRED PROGRAM REVIEW
City of Renton Confined Space Program
p. 18 of 29 Last Updated 11/7/2011
At least every 12 months, supervisors will conduct a review using canceled entry permits to identify any
deficiencies in our program. We will conduct a review immediately if there is reason to believe that the
program does not adequately protect our employees, such as the following situations:
A. Unauthorized entry of a permit space
B. Discovery of a hazard not covered by the permit
C. Detection of a condition prohibited by the permit
D. An injury or near -miss during entry
E. Change in the use or configuration of the space
Or
Employee complaints of confined space program ineffectiveness.
Corrective measures will be documented by revising the program. Employees will participate in revising the
program, and will be trained on any changes. Failure to comply with these procedures is grounds for
discipline, up to and including termination.

skillet blind) that completely covers the bore. It is capable of withstanding the maximum pressure of
the pipe, line, or duct with no leakage beyond the plate.
Confined space
A space that is all of the following:
- Large enough and arranged so an employee could fully enter the space and work.
- Has limited or restricted entry or exit. Examples of spaces with limited or restricted entry are tanks,
vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, excavations, and pits.
- Not primarily designed for human occupancy.
Double block and bleed

Enter (entry)
The action by which a person passes through an opening into a permit -required confined space and
includes work activities in that space. Entry is considered to have occurred as soon as any part of the
entrant's body breaks the plane of an opening into the space.
Note: If the opening is large enough for the worker to fully enter the space, a .permit is
required even for partial body entry. Permits aren't required for partial body entry where
the opening isn't large enough for full entry, although other rules such as chapter 296-803
WAC lockout-tagout, and chapter 296-841 WAC, Airborne contaminants will apply.
Entrant
An employee who is authorized by the employer to enter a permit -required confined space
City of Renton Confined Space Program

heating, that can provide a source of ignition
Immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH)
Any of the following conditions:
- An immediate or delayed threat to life
- Anything that would cause irreversible adverse health effects
- Anything that would interfere with an individual's ability to escape unaided from a permit -required
confined space.
Note:
Some materials - hydrogen fluoride gas and cadmium vapor, for example - may
produce immediate transient effects that, even if severe, may pass without medical
attention, but are followed by sudden, possibly fatal collapse 12 to 72 hours after
exposure. The victim "feels normal" after recovery from transient effects until
collapse. Such materials in hazardous quantities are considered to be "immediately'
dangerous to life or health (IDLH).
Inerting

(such as nitrogen) to such an extent that the resulting atmosphere is noncombustible.
Note:
This procedure produces an IDLH oxygen -deficient atmosphere.
Isolation
The process by which a permit -required confined space is removed from service and completely
protected against the release of energy and material into the space by such means as:
- Blanking or blinding
- Misaligning or removing sections of lines, pipes, or ducts
- A double block and bleed system
- Lockout or tagout of all sources of energy
or
- Blocking or disconnecting all mechanical linkages.
Line breaking
The intentional opening of a pipe, line, or duct that is or has been carrying flammable, corrosive, or
toxic material, an inert gas, or any fluid at a volume, pressure, or temperature capable of causing
injury.

serious physical harm:
- Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere
- Contains a material with the potential for engulfing someone who enters
- Has an internal configuration that could allow someone entering to be trapped or asphyxiated by
inwardly converging walls or by a floor, which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross section
- Contains any physical hazard. This includes any recognized health or safety hazards including
engulfment in solid or liquid material, electrical shock, or moving parts

Note: Items 6 and 7 are required pertaining to any release of water or materials
to the surface during construction. If there is no intention of surface release as
part of the rehabilitation, please provide a written narrative briefly describing
the proposed work with the statement that there is no intent for release and a
description of an emergency plan for erosion and sedimentation control and
cleanup in the event of and to the extent of a potential unintended release.

final adjustments made at the pre -construction conference.
