Which statement defines a Non-Permit Confined Space?

A non-permit confined space is a confined space without the characteristics of a permit-required confined space A non-permit confined space requires a permit A non-permit confined space is always hazardous A non-permit confined space has no ingress/egress restrictions

Correct Answer:

A non-permit confined space is a confined space without the characteristics of a permit-required confined space

Explanation:

A non-permit confined space is a confined space that does not have the characteristics that would classify it as permit-required. It may still have limited entry or exit, but it does not contain or have the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere, an engulfment hazard, or any other serious condition that would trigger a permit. Because those hazards are absent, no permit is required to enter. This makes the statement describing a confined space without the characteristics of a permit-required confined space the best fit. The other ideas—requiring a permit, being always hazardous, or having no ingress/egress restrictions—do not match how OSHA defines non-permit confined spaces.
