The regulatory standard that specifically addresses the implementation of safety measures in confined spaces is Article 1910.146. This standard outlines the requirements for safely entering and working in confined spaces, including the types of safety measures that must be in place to protect workers. It focuses on aspects such as hazard assessment, work procedures, and proper training for employees, emphasizing the necessity of having a written permit system and ensuring that emergency rescue plans are established. These measures are crucial for minimizing risks associated with atmospheres that might be hazardous and for safeguarding the health and safety of workers engaged in confined space activities.

Other options pertain to different regulations: while 1910.120 deals with hazardous waste operations and emergency response, 1910.147 addresses the control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout), and 1910.1200 relates to the hazard communication standard. Each of these standards serves a distinct purpose within occupational safety and health regulations, but 1910.146 is specifically crafted for confined space safety protocols.
