It would be interesting to see how this one turns out. It's hard to see, and I'm not a qualified supervisor, but in this video, I'm not seeing what I would have expected to see for a Permit Required, Confined Space entry work situation. Again, it could be the video.

STI posted this in their newsletter:
Man sustains second-degree burns in flash tank fire
A local news story from southeast Florida reported an incident at a gas station. A man was working on an underground tank when it exploded, burning him seriously.
We asked an STI member from southeast Florida for more information. It appears that a tank maintenance company was prepping the fiberglass tank for lining just prior to the fire. Apparently, an electric portable saw was used to cut into the tank sump instead of pneumatic equipment. This is unsafe practice and the saw likely caused the explosion.
The employee has since recovered and returned to work.
