safety

Cal is accompanying the auditor, Shirley, on the facility inspection. They come upon a confined space that Shirley recognized as having been recorded in the facility confined space entry program. She made a note to examine the space because the facility records indicated that the confined space had been entered, but that an entry permit had not been utilized. She asks Cal why a permit was not utilized. Cal responds with an explanation that included a review of work that was conducted, and that in the environment there were no hazards that would cause it to require the use of an entry permit and the subsequent emergency response team. Shirley does not agree and states that a permit should have been used, but is vague on the exact hazard that would have been present during the time of the entry.
