What method is suggested for improving the flow of loose materials, such as sawdust, to minimize the need for worker entry into a confined space?

  1. Using a three-armed rotating sweep auger

  2. Retrofitting with a mechanical leveling/raking device

  3. Latching the storage silo

  4. Installing ground fault circuit interrupters

Options A, C, and D may also help with the flow of materials in some way, but they do not directly address the issue of minimizing worker entry into the confined space. Option A may work to move the materials, but it still requires a worker to operate it inside the confined space. Latching the storage silo (Option C) only prevents unauthorized access and does not improve the flow of materials. Installing ground fault circuit interrupters (Option D) helps with electrical safety, but it does not address the issue of worker entry into
