Confined Space Entry Decision Flow Chart

Definition of a Confined Space: Definition of a Permit Required Confined Space: 1. Is a space that is large enough and so

configured so that an employee can enter and perform work; and

2. Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and

3. Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy

1. Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere; or

2. Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an Entrant; or

3. Has an internal configuration such that an Entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section; or

4. Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard

Confined Space Notification

California State University Channel Islands has areas on campus that are regulated as Permit Required Confined Spaces by Cal/OSHA under Title 8, sect ion 5156-5158 of the California Code of Regulations. Following is a listing of these areas as well as some of the hazard(s) that may be present in the confined spaces:

Confined Space Location

Electrical vaults campus wide

Sewer manholes campus wide oxygen, toxic gases

Storm drain manholes campus wide

oxygen , toxic gases

Communication Vaults campus wide electrical hazards

Sewer Tanks campus wide

Boilers Central plant

Steam vaults campus wide

Hazard(s)

electrical hazards. low oxygen, asbestos

carbon monoxide, low

carbon monoxide, low

low oxygen, asbestos,

toxic gases, low oxygen, drowning, electrocution

lack of oxygen, asbestos, steam, heat, hot water

heat, lack of oxygen, asbestos, toxic gases, steam, hot water

CSU Channel Islands is not responsible for employees of contractors who may enter University confined spaces.

Other hazards may be present in the spaces listed and other spaces may become regulated confined spaces in certain situations.

Contractors that enter confined spaces on the CSU Channel Islands campus must comply with the Confined Space Standard as defined in Section 5156 - 5158 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations.
