  2. Is aware of possible behavioral effects of hazard exposure in authorized entrants.
  3. Continuously maintains an accurate count of authorized entrants in the permit space and ensures that the means to identify authorized entrants under subsection (f)(4) accurately identifies who is in the permit space.

  5. Communicates with authorized entrants as necessary to monitor entrant status and to alert entrants of the need to evacuate the space under subsection (i)(6)
  6. Monitors activities inside and outside the space to determine if it is safe for entrants to remain in the space and orders the authorized entrants to evacuate the permit space immediately under any of the following conditions:
       a. If the attendant detects a prohibited condition;
       b. If the attendant detects the behavioral effects of hazards exposure in an authorized entrant;
       c. If the attendant detects a situation outside the space that could endanger the authorized entrants; or

• Confined Space (Monitor)

  Confined Space (Monitor)

  Objectives: Overview of Atmospheric Tester/Monitor. Topics include: evaluation testing, verification testing, duration of testing, testing stratified atmospheres, and order of testing.
  1. Evaluation testing. The atmosphere of a confined space should be analyzed using equipment of sufficient sensitivity and specificity to identify and evaluate any hazardous atmospheres that may exist or arise, so that appropriate permit entry procedures can be developed and acceptable entry conditions stipulated for that space. Evaluation and interpretation of these data, and development of the entry procedure, should be done by, or reviewed by, a technically qualified professional (e.g. Cal/OSHA consultation service, or certified industrial hygienist, registered safety engineer, certified safety professional, certified marine chemist, etc.) based on evaluation of all serious hazards
  2. Verification testing. The atmosphere of a permit space which may contain a hazardous atmosphere should be tested for residues of all contaminants identified by evaluation testing using permit specified equipment to determine that residual concentrations at the time of testing and entry are within the range of acceptable entry conditions. Results of testing (i.e., actual concentration, etc.) should be recorded on the permit in the space provided adjacent to the stipulated acceptable entry condition.
  3. Duration of testing. Measurement of values for each atmospheric parameter should be made for at least the minimum response time of the test instrument specified by the manufacturer.
  4. Testing stratified atmospheres. When monitoring for entries involving a descent into atmospheres that may be stratified, the atmospheric envelope should be tested a distance of approximately 4 feet (1.22 m) in the direction of travel and to each side. If a sampling probe is used, the entrant’s rate of progress should be slowed to accommodate the sampling sped and detector response.
  5. Order of testing. A test for oxygen is performed first because most combustible gas meters are oxygen dependent and will not provide reliable readings in an oxygen deficient atmosphere. Combustible gases are tested for next because the threat of fire or explosion is both more immediate and more life threatening, in most cases, than exposure to toxic gases and vapors. If test for toxic gases and vapors are necessary, they are performed last.

The RO should review the training program whenever a new research project is planned, new facilities or equipment is added, or the entity plans to work with different agents or toxins to confirm training content still meets the entity’s needs and the regulatory requirements.
  The regulations do not require the RO to personally develop or conduct the training program. The RO may delegate the training responsibilities to other entity staff. A number of resources may be available to the RO to help with the training requirement, but the training provided should be site specific based on the risk of work and hazards of the BSATs. The regulations are performance based and do not specify what is considered an acceptable training program. The entity has a wide range of options for how to set up a training program, including:
  • PowerPoint presentations that covers the basics
  • Required staff reading of appropriate standard operating procedures and plans
  • On-line self-study training programs
  • Entity staff member-led presentations (e.g. security training led by the entity’s head of security)
  • Community expert-led training (e.g. community’ hazardous response team. An effective BSAT training program should be risk based and include biocontainment, biosafety, security (and security awareness), incident response, and specific work related training components. Each training component is discussed in detail below. “
