(e)  
Cotton or rubber gloves.

 S 912-418
 (10) Persons who work in or near an open fuel tank must not remove or
___ change clothes near an open fuel tank. You can create sufficient static electricity in the clothes to cause fuel vapor to ignite.
 S 912-419
 (11)
 Persons who work in fuel tanks must wear the correct respiratory protection for the fuel tank conditions.

 (a)  
Persons that use respiratory protection must be trained and know the proper use and limitations of respiratory protection.

 (b)  
An approved respirator with an attached breathing-air supply is necessary for each person who goes into a fuel tank that is in a fire-safe condition.

 (c)  
An approved half-mask respirator with a organic vapor filter, at a minimum, is recommended for each person who goes into a fuel tank that is in a health-safe condition.

 (d)  
Airline Hoods (or equivalent) should be worn by persons if the respirator does not fit correctly due to facial hair or other facial configurations.

 S 912-420
 (12)
 At each fuel tank entry location there must be an observer who is outside of the fuel tank. The observer's responsibility is to make sure that person(s) in the fuel tank are safe. The observer must remain outside of the fuel tank in visual contact with the access opening. The observer must be able to communicate with the person(s) inside the fuel tank at all times.

 (a)  
There are two ways the observer and the person(s) in the fuel tank can communicate: 1) A confined space communication system designed for aircraft

 fuel tank use.

 2)  The observer and the person who will go into the tank can agree on a communication plan such as tugs on the safety rope at a set time interval.
 S 912-421
 (13)
 The observer must also keep a report that shows who is in the fuel tank and when that person comes out. A sign attached to the ladder or support equipment which states, "CAUTION - PERSONNEL INSIDE -MOVE NO EQUIPMENT", must be placed at the location of a fuel tank entry. When the personnel in the tank come out, the observer should remove the sign or place it where it does not show.

 S 912-422

 (14)
 Many local, state and national regulatory agencies require a confined space entry permit to be signed and approved before a person goes into a fuel tank. A pre-entry checklist is often required by the confined space entry permit. It is recommended that a pre-entry checklist be used before you go into a fuel tank. Figure 206 is an example of a pre-entry checklist used at Boeing facilities.

 G.  
Purging and Fuel Tank Entry - Adverse Weather Conditions

 S 912-423
 (1)  
When thunderstorms or lightning are within a 10 mile radius of the immediate area, open fuel tank maintenance procedures should stop. Persons inside of the fuel tanks should get out. Air ducts inside the fuel tanks should be removed and the power for all support equipment should be switched off. The fuel tank access openings must be closed.

 S 912-424

 (2)  
Strong wind conditions can cause a build-up of static electricity. Large charges of static electricity can develop on support equipment while parked as a result of the movement of dust particles and air currents during strong wind conditions. Strong wind conditions can also cause the unwanted movement of items or equipment which can hit the airplane or injure persons. Wind gusts can damage the airplane structure. Fueling, defueling or open fuel tank maintenance procedures should stop if strong wind conditions are present.
