Ventilation

• Employees shall not enter a confined space if a hazardous atmosphere exists. If at any time, the LEL exceeds the Permissible Levels,
  the employee shall immediately evacuate the confined space. Forced air ventilation is used to maintain oxygen at a safe level and prevent a hazardous concentration of flammable gasses and vapors. The air supply for forced air should be from a clean source and should not increase hazards. (i.e. vehicle exhaust)
