All confined space entries will be made under the direction and control of a competent supervisor who has been provided with confined space training, first aid and rescue technique training.

The standby person will also be trained in the use and care of all emergency and rescue equipment, his / her duties, and the procedures for entering and evacuating personnel from the space.  Training also has to be provided in emergency communications procedures and devices.  The standby person is responsible for contacting emergency services and additional support personnel if required.

All workers entering a confined space will be informed of the potential hazards, precautionary procedures, personal and respiratory protective equipment and rescue methods.  This information will be discussed in a pre-job safety meeting.
