As the debate rages on regarding rescue services, there is ONE SMALL and SIMPLE requirement that would STOP ALL entries…

1910.146(j) Duties of entry supervisors. The employer shall ensure that each entry supervisor:

...

1910.146(j)(4) Verifies that rescue services are available and that the means for summoning them are operable;

This Entry Supervisor REQUIREMENT could not be any more clear… it is their RESPONSIBILITY (and SOLELY their RESPONSIBILITY) as Entry Supervisor to VERIFY that whatever rescue service they plan to use (on-site or off-site) the service/team is AVAILBLE to respond in a TIMELY MANNER and the means the attendant will use to summon them to the space is “operable.”

What does this actually mean?
