This manual has been adapted for confined space work in an agricultural setting. Sections Two, Three, Four, Five, Seven, Eight, and Ten were adapted from the "Permit-Required Confined Space Entry Program" developed by the University of Illinois' Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations' Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program. Sections One, Seven, and Appendix A were developed by Richard Steffen, Ph.D., Southern Illinois University; Maureen Banks, M.S., Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; and Robert Ahern, Ph.D., Agricultural Health and Safety Project, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In addition, the University of Illinois would like to thank the Structures Division of the Equipment Manufacturer's Institute for their support in adapting these materials.
