The Occupational Health and Safety Administration requires that persons entering all permitted confined spaces, such as a vault, follow procedures outlined in the permit. These procedures include atmospheric monitoring, use of safety harnesses and retrieval lines, and a top person among other precautions. In the past, what might have been a quick trip to the vault is now a time‐consuming and labor‐intensive procedure. This article explores how to reduce time and personnel requirements by changing a vault so that it no longer requires a permit or so that the required work can be removed from the space. Equipment, cost, and construction issues are all addressed.
