OSHA 29CFR1910.146 for regulatory requirements.)
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
•
•
•
OSHA 29CFR1910.146 covers all confined spaces and therefore is very general.
Therefore API developed the API 2015 & 2016 to specifically address Fuel
Aboveground Storage Tanks to cover OSHA requires and beyond.
Basic Framework for Hazard Recognition
– Recognition, Evaluation, Control
•
Permit Required Confined Space Assessment
– Restricted Entry & Exit
– Large Enough for Work
– Not Intended for Continuous Occupancy
•
Non-Permit Required Confined Space
– Missing any one of the three above requirements.
– Note: This does not mean that the confined space is no longer dangerous.
•
API (not OSHA) also defines a non-confined space.
– It is recommended to assume all spaces to be hazardous until proven otherwise.
Always think of the shortcuts or oversights that will be the cause of your death today
when making entry.
•
Confined Space Controls
–
–
–
–
Engineering
Administrative
Personal Protective Equipment
Do your best to reduce reliance on PPE. PPE can technically make all spaces safe for
entry, but should not be your first preference for self preservation.
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
•
Definitions
–
–
–
–
–
•
•
PEL: Personal Exposure Limit (8 hour time weighted average)
TLV: Threshold Limit Value (measured in ppm)
IDLH: Immediate Danger to Life and Health
LEL: Lower Explosive Limit
UEL: Upper Explosive Limit
Natural ventilation is inadequate. Confined spaces must be mechanically
ventilated.
Engineering Control
– Vent, Isolate, Substitute (for less hazardous material, i.e. substitute water for crude)
– 2/3 of confined space hazards is atmospheric.
•
Administrative Rules
– If personal gas monitor alarms, it has to be a go/no go alarm. You must make the
determination if the space is safe or alarm false outside of the confined space.
– Marine Chemist or Shipyard Competent Person should determine if space is safe for
entry. This should be performed at every break in work.
•
PPE Rule:
– Make the space safe for workers, not Make the workers safe for the space.
•
Fire Triangle
– Fuel, Oxidizer, Heat Source (All three present = fire)
•
Flammable Range
– The flammability range is between the LEL and UEL.
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
•
Oxygen Deficiency
–
–
–
–
Highest Atmospheric Risk – No warning signs (no smell, color)
Typical Cause: Metal Oxidation (Corrosion), organic decomposition.
Adequate oxygen is required for LEL Testing.
Highly recommended to only enter spaces at 20.8% - 20.9% oxygen.
• If 19.8% oxygen tested, then 1.0% is missing. 1.0% of any gas is 10,000ppm
– OSHA’s own procedures does not allow OSHA personnel to enter spaces not at 20.8%
oxygen.
– In event of fire, close tank. At 16% oxygen, fires will burn itself out. Tank must cool
before opening. Fuel & Heat are still present, the introduction of oxygen will re-ignite.
– Mechanical ventilation has to be shutdown when testing of oxygen. 15 minutes for a
150 diameter tank per API 2015.
•
Flammability
– Less than 10 % of the LEL will not ignite or explode because the mixture is too lean.
However you should not enter the space.
– 0% is preferred. 0% is required for unrestricted entry.
– Example: 10% of the LEL of methane is 1,000ppm. 1,000ppm of methane is higher
than the TLV acceptable.
– UEL should not be treated as if there is no danger. The flammable vapors will dissipate
and eventually reach the explosive range.
– Oxygen level must be above 16% for fire to occur.
– Check your gas meter, is it calibrated by methane or pentane? Methane is okay for
plumbing industry. Pentane is preferred for petroleum industry. In test, the methane
calibrated meter did not detect and LEL for butane in a closed container with butane.
The pentane calibrated meter detected LEL for butane.
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
•
Toxicity
– Although OSHA is law, recommend using levels set by ACGIH. (American
Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygenists.)
– Recommend Photoionization Meter. Traditional LEL meters utilize the
Wheatstone bridge. This is unable to effectively measure diesel LEL and toxicity
in addition to many other low vapor pressure fuilds.
– ACGIH has changed the safe limit of Hydrogen Sulfide from 10% to 1%. (TWA =
1ppm) OSHA has not changed it’s safe limits. ACGIH recommends utilizing their
safety levels even though OSHA is law as reliance on the higher limit will expose
your company to legal risks. Example: Employee gets sick and files civil lawsuit.
ACGIH reviews and updates data more often. In the court of law, you may be
correct. In the court of opinion, explain use of older and less reviewed standard.
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
•
Confined Space Safe Practices
– Issues: Low man on roster gets posted as the hole watch or fire watch. Hole
watch should be the most trained or one of the best crew member. This person is
the responder to emergency procedures. Also has to observe and watch all
crews in/out for coordination of work.
– PRCS (Permit Required Confined Space): No specific NFPA forms, however
permit form does require all 14 points (See 29CFR1910.146). Per OSHA, permits
are good for the duration of the job. Safe work practice would recommend that a
permit is made out for each shift or break in work to make certain work conditions
have not changed.
– There is no definition for periodic testing and monitoring during entry and work.
Continuous monitoring/testing is recommended.
– Always provide adequate information on anticipated hazards.
– No OSHA requirement for refresher training.
– Rescue Team training/drills is only required once annually. This frequency is not
enough an more frequent training is recommended.
– Confined space permits must be held for 1 year per OSHA and must be
reviewed. OSHA however, does not state how to review or what to do to refine
your process after completion of review.
– Entry personnel should always wear safety harness. The attendant should have
rescue apparatus and be competent in its use.
– Crews wearing PPE should have medical exams current to protect themselves
from other medical conditions. (i.e. respiratory)
– Heat Stress, Claustrophobia, Respiratory distress, are some of the physical
problems that can be encountered.
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
•
Confined Space Safe Practices
– There are no meters for measuring explosive dust. Do not believe the OSHA
specification for dust hazards being “obstructed sight @ 5 feet”
– Entrants should be trained to be able to recognize abnormal operating
conditions. Tanks may be safe at start of work. Conditions change. Continuous
monitoring is highly recommended.
– OSHA states that you can self rescue. This is not appropriate. Evacuation or
escape is more appropriate terms. Your first response to any abnormal condition
should be to leave the space. Always evaluate the situation outside.
– The attendant can leave for no reason. This include mental departures (texting,
daydreaming, etc.).
– Know how you will be performing a rescue without entering the space.
– OSHA allows the attendant to monitor more than one space. It is recommended
not to do it. What do you do with multiple emergencies or a single emergency?
How do you continue to monitor the second space or provide rescue assistance
to both? You will not be able to. This is why you should not monitor multiple
spaces.
– The attendant should not allow owners or their inspectors to just show up and
make entry. All entrants should be trained and listed on the entry permit.
– An attendant should be posted at all entry/exit points or designate a check in/out
procedure as a part of your confined space plan. This is avoid having an entrant
leave from another point and go as ‘unaccounted’ by your attendant.
– Line of sight is key. Communication is mandatory. What do you do if there is
communication failure? It is acceptable to place a secondary attendant for relay
between crew and outside attendant.
– Know your Lock Out / Tag Out requirements.
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
•
Confined Space Safe Practices
– Do not assign conflicting duties. Example: Fire watch for interior/exterior welding can
not be assigned to the attendant. Do not distract the attendant from their primary job.
– The Tank Entry Supervisor is supposed to verify Emergency plans and rescue
personnel availability. If the Fire Department is the designated Rescue team, check if
they want to be notified for every entry. OSHA recommends it.
– If the local Fire Department is your designated rescue team and is responding to an
external emergency, your permit entry should be suspended as your rescue crew is
not available. Monitoring of local emergency radio traffic would be required.
– Basic First Aid/CPR training is required for all rescue team members. One person on
the crew must be fully certified.
– If you have an in-house rescue team, annual training (1 time per calendar year) is
required by OSHA. An actual rescue qualifies as the required drill. It is highly
recommended that your rescue team train for more than one scenario and executes
drill more frequently than once a year. You can not become proficient to execute are
rescue that must be performed in 5 minutes or less by participation in 1 drill per year.
It is very likely that the drill you practice will not simulate any actual required
response. Observation of actual entries and discussion of how each would be
addressed is advisable.
– Personal 4-gas monitors are advised. You may check atmosphere at entry point, it
most certainly will be different on the other side of the tank where your work will
occur. Also once work is commenced, the atmospheric conditions will change.
– The personal monitors do not need to be calibrated everyday (although this would be
preferred), but they should at a minimum be bump checked with a known gas prior to
every use. Verify that the meter reading is the same as the test gas composition.
– Test atmosphere in the following order: Oxygen, Flammability, Toxicity
– Shut down ventilation 10-15 minutes prior to testing.
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
•
Confined Space Safe Practices
– Rule of Thumb for air exchanges is 5-6 per hour. Do your calculations to be certain
that you meet requirements.
– Natural ventilation is not acceptable. Spaces must be mechanically ventilated.
– Fire Watch. Determine best fire protection aides. CO2 Extinguisher will displace O2.
Dry Chem types may cause the same effect. Pressurized water is normally preferred.
– “BREAKING THE PLANE” constitues taking confined space precautions. Materials
within can off-gas. When you break the plane, it can affect you and cause you to
possibly fall into the space.
– Entry Permit Retention. Check! May be 30 years retention requirement if dealing with
carcinogens. Otherwise OSHA only requires 1 year for annual review.
– Refer to TLV booklet for work/rest ratio table.
– Local exhaust for fumes generated by your work is very effective. It prevents the
atmosphere within the space from becoming contaminated by the result of your work.
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
• Static Electricity
– Separation of Surfaces. Collection of Charge. Discharge quickly through sharp
points.
– You can control separation of surfaces and collection of charges by
bonding/grounding. This would eliminate/reduce discharges.
– You can test for explosive atmospheres. This would eliminate explosions/ignitions in
the event of a static discharge.
– Static charges can discharge at voltages as high as 22kV. If you created a static
discharge in a flammable atmosphere it would trigger an explosion.
– Static Electricity can be controlled by Bonding or Grounding.
– The exhaust fan can create static due to the outflow of vapors over the surface of the
fan. Exhaust fans must be bonded to the tank.
– Practices to Inhibit Static Ignitions: Never use filters in the end of flow lines; Never
“splash” fill tanks; Reduce agitating operations inside tanks; Reduce flow rates at the
beginning of loading; Bond/Ground objects; Never blow air or gases into or through
liquids; Wait 30 minutes before inserting objects into or removing objects from tanks;
Use metal devices inside tanks.

API 2015 – What you have to do
API 2016 – How to do what 2015 tells you what you have to do.
Always review floating roof cribbing and safety procedure.
Recommend inspection w/mirrors for internal floating roof while tank is
in service.
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
•
Testing Spaces
– To test spaces, it is highly recommended to use a meter with a pump, with a PID or
separate PID meter.
– Know your sample time to pull gas through the sample tube. The rule of thumb is to
allow 2 times the rated sample time.
– If O2 levels are not reading 20.8%, entry is not recommended. The sensor will not tell
you if the oxygen has been consumed or displaced. Again, OSHA allows 19.5% as
safe for entry. However, if 19.8% oxygen tested, then 1.0% is missing. 1.0% of any
gas is 10,000ppm. What vapor or gas is safe at 10,000ppm?
– Don’t abuse your meter. If constantly running the LEL sensor to above the test gas
level, the life of the sensor will degrade faster.
– Infrared technology is more reliable technology than the catalytic LEL sensor.
• Silicone and lead can coat elements and destroy the LEL sensor.
• Heavy Vapors don’t pass through the internal flame arrestor and have a slower reaction time.
Also the response is dependant on the calibration gas (Pentane vs. Methane) Pentane is
better suited for the Petroleum industry. Methane is better for areas where sewer gas is
present.
– Pentane Calibrated meters calibrate at 1.5% by volume of Pentane = 100% LEL
reading. OSHA allows entry at <10% LEL. At 10% there is still 1500ppm of gas.
Consider that 1.0% LEL = 150ppm and that most toxic contaminants have acceptable
exposure levels of less than 150ppm. Most flammable gases are toxic. Therefore it is
highly recommended that the only acceptable flammable gas test result should be
0% LEL.
– Detector tubes are good indicators, but are expensive, have a poor accuracy of +/25%. Drager has a chip measurement which is +/- 5%. However, Photoionization
Detectors are the best with a +/- 0.2 ppm.
– NIOSH publishes a pocket guide for LEL Lookup.
API/NFPA 2010 Safe Tank Entry Workshop
• Testing Spaces
– For checking diesel, a photoionization detector should be required. Catalytic LEL
sensors can not check toxicity.
• Permits
– Your Confined Space entry permit should have fields for test results, not just
pass/fail. The permit form should also have fields for re-testing verification (i.e. after
lunch, breaks, etc.) so you can verify and compare conditions.
• Gas Meter Alarm Settings
– Recommended Settings are:
• Oxygen : 20.7% for low oxygen alarm. 30.0% for high oxygen alarm.
– Something is consuming or displacing oxygen, Something is causing space
to be flooded with oxygen. You should leave the space and determine
cause for change in condition.
• Carbon Monoxide : 12 ppm.
• LEL : 5%
– Do not wait until OSHA allowable10%. If LEL is increasing, you will most
probably not make it out of the space until the LEL level has surpassed the
10% safety limit.
• H2S : Use 0.5%. Recommend ACGIH limit of 1ppm. If using OSHA 10ppm limit,
set alarm point to 2%.
– If testing Alcohols (Ethanol, Methanol, Etc.) Use only detector tubes. The alcohol
fumes will destroy the LEL and PID meters.
