Which of the following is NOT a criteria for a confined space according to OSHA?

The criteria for a confined space, as defined by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), includes specific requirements regarding the nature of the space and its use. One of the key aspects is that a confined space is not intended for continuous employee occupancy. This means that while a person can enter the space to perform work, it is not an area where they would stay for long periods.

The definition emphasizes that the space must indeed allow for bodily entry and must not have restrictions on entry or exit to facilitate safe working conditions. However, the requirement for continuous occupancy is specifically not a criterion. Spaces designed for intermittent tasks or activities can still be classified as confined spaces as long as they meet the other OSHA-defined criteria. Therefore, the correct choice aligns with the fundamental OSHA regulation that a confined space cannot be characterized as one allowing continuous employee occupancy.
