Incorrect Monitor in Confined Space

Date of Incident: 7 August 2017

While carrying out the confined space task on the Unit 2 blade inspections in the turbine hall a worker picked up a personal gas monitor from Operations as the Chemistry Lab, who normally issue the monitors, was closed during the weekend.
