enough to hold a man and if it is necessary to enter
it to perform service adjustments, inform other per-
sonnel before doing so, or else secure and tag the
access door in the open position to avoid the pos-
sibility of others closing and possibly latching the
door with personnel inside.
B. Make sure all personnel are out of compressor
before closing and latching enclosure doors.
