that safe working conditions are observed and where conditions
warrant and especially when work is being carried out in a
confined space, the employer will ensure that the employees
shall have proper assistance or vigilance from other persons
who will act as a safety watch outside the area whenever any
workers are inside the confined space. In order to satisfy the
requirements of confined space entry procedures, all safety
watch persons shall be properly trained and familiar with the
tools and equipment, understand the hazards of the space and
of the materials used in the nondestructive testing industry.
All persons so designated shall be members of the QCCC.
