limited entry/exit

entry point ≤ 24" typical

📋 permit-required spaces

1. hazardous atmosphere

flammable, toxic, or oxygen‑deficient (<19.5% or >23.5%)

2. engulfment hazard

material that can surround/ suffocate (grain, sand, liquid)

3. internal configuration

sloping walls, converging surfaces that trap

4. other serious hazards

mechanical, electrical, heat, noise

🌬️ atmospheric testing (order)

1oxygen — 19.5% – 23.5%
2flammable gases — <10% LFL
3toxic gases — H₂S, CO, etc. below PEL
4continuous monitoring — while occupied
