Expect that there will be a lot of emphasis on this topic in the coming year. We've been studying up hard on all the confined space regulations due to considerable changes in them effective January 1st. Per OSHA there now must be a QUALIFIED rescue team at stand-by at the entry, not just on call. There are several other revisions but I can't list them all here. The company I work for has several verticle bins up to 40' deep that need clean out on occasion. We just purchased a machine that works in a manner not unlike a "weed whacker on steroids" that allows us to clean out a bin top to bottom without entry. Expensive yes, but one 'involved' entry muchless with a mishap could more than justify the expense. OSHA is taking on more and sharper teeth so I'm predicting there will be many more alternative methods developed to safely deal with safety issues of various tasks, but not in the old fashioned way. Will this pinch the smaller operators? Likely. But as one of my former bosses used to say 'dead is still dead'.
