Reevaluate nonpermit confined spaces if hazards develop.
(1) The employer must reclassify a nonpermit confined space to a permit-required confined space, if necessary, when changes in the use or configuration of the space increase the hazards to entrants.
(2) The employer must make sure all employees exit the space if hazards develop. The employer must then reevaluate the space and determine whether it must be reclassified as a permit-required confined space.
