1.10 TRAINED ATTENDANT
While work is performed in an electrical enclosed space, a trained attendant shall be available in the immediate vicinity to render emergency assistance. The attendant shall not be distracted from the duty such as speaking on a cell phone, text messaging, or use of other hand-held devices. This person is not precluded from performing other duties outside the electrical enclosed space if these duties do not distract the attendant from monitoring employees within the space. This does not preclude more than one person entering the structure. An attendant is not precluded from reaching into an underground structure to hand an entrant tools or other job materials so long as only the hands/arms break the
entry plane. Manhole attendants must be trained in first aid,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and rescue.
