RESCUE FROM A MANHOLE. Rescue from a manhole becomes necessary
when workers in a manhole are overcome by gas or otherwise injured. Workers
engaged in rescue attempts must protect themselves. In cases of asphyxiation or gas
poisoning, it is advisable to ventilate with a blower or wind sail while preparing for the
rescue.
Note: All manholes must be evaluated and classified to determine if they must be
classified as a permit required confined space. If the space meets the requirements of
a permit required space, entry must occur under a confined space permit system.
