9-112 Do not shovel material onto a moving conveyor or bucket
elevator unless a suitable guard/screen/barrier/emergency pull
cord is in place. The guard will prevent a tool from coming in
contact with the pinch point.

9-113 Get your supervisor's or appropriate manager's permission
before entering a tank, bin, silo, drum, bag-houses, kilns,
crusher, pipe, hopper, pontoon, manhole, or other confined
spaces.

9-114 Along with your supervisor, determine if the confined space is a
“permit-required” confined space. If so, enter "permit required"
areas only after proper training and after completing the required
entry form and getting approval for entry from your supervisor.
