Under OSHA’s regulations dealing with the applicability of standards [1910.5(c)], specific standards prevail over more general standards dealing with the same conditions. In this case, the specific standard, 1910.261(b)(5), prevails over the more general standard, 1910.146, with regard to the entry of closed vessels, tanks, chip bins and similar equipment in pulp, paper, and paperboard mills. However, if employees are assigned to enter other “permit spaces” within pulp, paper, and paperboard mills, or are exposed to hazards not addressed in 1910.261(b)(5), then the provisions of 1910.146 apply for those entries.
