• Make sure, when using alternate entry procedures, instead of permit entry procedures, that you have monitoring and inspection data that supports the following:

– That the only hazard of the permit-required confined space is an actual or potentially hazardous atmosphere.

– That continuous forced air ventilation alone is all that is needed to maintain the permit-required confined space for safe entry.

• Make sure an entry to obtain monitoring and inspection data or to eliminate hazards is performed according to WAC 296-307-500, Permit entry procedures.

• Make sure all documentation produced is available to each affected employee and their authorized representative.
