OSHA does not specifically require employers to post signs at the entrance of a non-permit required confined space. Generally speaking, a permit-required confined space is a confined space with an actual or potential “serious safety and health hazard.” If a confined space is not a permit space, then that confined space has been determined to have no “serious” hazards. Therefore, there would be little need to identify the space. However, there could be less than serious hazards in an ordinary non-permit required confined space. Posting a sign on a non-permit space would simply be going beyond requirements.
