initiate rescue if needed?
Safe Work Practices: Are personnel adhering to safe work practices and
29
avoiding any unsafe actions?
Regular Breaks: Are personnel taking regular breaks to prevent fatigue and
30
heat stress?
Monitoring: Is the atmosphere inside the tank being periodically monitored if
31
potential hazards exist?
