The Arkansas Kraft Division Confined Space Policy is designed to

control and protect personnel from Confined Space hazards and to

establish guidelines for entry into Confined Spaces. This policy

prohibits unauthorized entry, identifies and evaluates potential

hazards, and establishes procedures and practices for safe entry.This includes atmospheric monitoring, requires an attendant for all

permit spaces during entry operations, establishes procedures to

summon rescuers and a system for preparing, issuing, using and

canceling entry permits.

Confined Space


11/63

A Confined Space is defined as an area which (1) has adequate size

and configuration for employee entry, (2) has limited means of access

or egress, and (3) is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.

A Permit-Required Confined Space is a Confined Space as defined

above, andpresents or has the potential for hazards related to

atmospheric conditions (toxic, flammable, asphyxiating), engulfment,

configuration or any other recognized serious hazard.

Confined Space


12/63

Signs shall be posted near Confined Spaces to notify individuals what

hazards might be present and that only Authorized Entrants may enter

the Confined Spaces. Signs shall read,

DANGER, Permit Required Confined Space DO NOT ENTER.

Confined Space


13/63

An individual is considered to have entered the Confined Space when

any part of the individual's body breaks the plane of the Confined

Space's opening.

Only individuals who are trained and knowledgeable in the hazardsthey may face, are able to recognize signs or symptoms of exposure

and understand the consequences of exposure to hazards may enter

confined spaces.

Entrants must know how to use any needed equipment, communicate

with Attendants as necessary, alert Attendants when a warningsymptom or other hazardous condition arises and exit as quickly as

possible when ordered to or alerted.

Confined Space


14/63

Attendants are individuals who are trained in and familiar with the

hazards of Confined Spaces, aware of behavioral effects of potential

exposures, know to maintain a continuous count of entrants, remain

outside the space until relieved, communicate with entrants asnecessary to monitor their status and when to order exit. They must be

properly equipped and know how to summon assistance, prevent

unauthorized entry and perform non-entry rescues. They must not

perform other duties that interfere with their primary duty to monitor

and protect the safety of Authorized Entrants. Attendants must wear a

green vest while serving as an attendant.

Confined Space


15/63

An authorized AKD employee shall properly shutdown and isolate the

confined space. An authorized AKD employee will complete all tasks

required by the permit for entry using the procedures detailed in the

Arkansas Kraft Division Confined Space Policy.The completed permit will be posted at the entry point after all lockout

and atmospheric testing has been completed.

Contractor employees will lockout on the appropriate lockout device

before entering a confined space.

The atmosphere inside the space will be monitored continuously whenpersonnel are in the space.

Confined Space


16/63

No individual shall enter any confined space until it has been properly

prepared and permitted for entry using the procedures detailed in the

Arkansas Kraft Division Confined Space Policy.

No individual shall enter any confined space without an attendant

posted at the entry point.

Entrants must ensure their name and time of entry is on the entry list

when they enter and exit time is on the list when they exit the space.

physically impossible to do so without assistance, when:

the Attendant orders evacuation; an atmospheric monitor alarm is activated;

the Authorized Entrants perceive that they are in danger.
