aoiiffla !er.th <br /> DATE : AP OV L : <br /> April 6 1988 <br /> To : Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> F ROM : <br /> Larry Hamer, Public Works Director <br /> CONFINED SPACE ENTRY POLICY <br /> In 1987 legislation regarding parameters for confined space entry became law and the <br /> Cities'. were directed to develop a confined entry policy. The Public Works Department <br /> personnel were trained in confined space policies as of April 1, 1988. <br /> We added to the safety equipment we already had in order to conform with the new laws. <br /> We purchased a tripod, which was OSHA approved, to enable one person to raise another <br /> person out of a manhole. The cost was $835.00. We also purchased a new gas measuring <br /> meter and warming device for about $2,100.00 to conform with OSHA requirements. <br /> I recommend approval of Resolution 88-014 which will approve the confined space entry <br /> policy. <br /> :cjk4.12.88 <br />
