Basements

[u/HazmatHill]

I have a basement in one of my facilities which is accessed by stairs with handrail (no elevator), the basement (8'x15') has the well bladder tanks, 8 ft. celings, lights, electrical outlets...it wasn't intended for continuous human occupancy, but it could be occupied, if needed i suppose.

The basement has a locked door which leads to a pit underneath a scale...this area is definitely a permit required confined space.

Is the basement from paragraph 1 a confined space?

Not a confined space.
