Additionally, the company is in the process of certifying the laboratory as a WBE, as well.

11/03 - Although most confined spaces are not typically
identified as having fall hazards, injuries sustained
from a fall into a confined space can be as serious
as a fall from a work platform above ground level.
In fact, confined spaces such as holding tanks, manholes,
food processing tanks, etc., have access holes that
are over 20 feet deep. Therefore, using proper personal
fall arrest and retrieval equipment is imperative.
OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.146, "Permit Required
Confirmed Spaces for General Industry," defines
a confined space as any area which has…
Adequate size and configuration for employee entry,
Limited means for access or egress,
And is not designed for continuous employee entry
