A preliminary evaluation of the site’s characteristics must be performed prior to site entry.
A secondary, more detailed evaluation must be conducted to further identify existing
hazards to aid in the selection of appropriate engineering controls and personal protective
equipment (PPE) for future site activities. The evaluation must include all suspected
conditions that are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) or that may cause serious
harm to employees (e.g., confined space entry, potentially explosive or flammable
situations, visible vapor clouds, etc.).
