1 Purpose
1.1 The primary purpose of this standard is to reduce risk from
asphyxiation, poisoning, and explosions when entering confined space
manure storages by specifying the positive pressure, forced ventilation
requirements, including ventilation system layout, air exchange rates,
and minimum ventilation times, for evacuation of contaminant gases
from, and replenishment of oxygen into, empty or nearly empty covered
or partially covered confined-space, on-farm, manure storages, reception
tanks, agitation tanks and other similar containers that hold/contain
manure prior to entry.
1.2 This standard is to be used in conjunction with the appropriate
confined space entry considerations defined in ASAE EP470, JAN 1992
