b.Have the worker hold their breath and work quickly
c.Light a candle to burn off the bad air

Giải thích
Under Title 8 §5157, a hazardous atmosphere must be controlled by continuous mechanical (forced-air) ventilation, and the space must be retested to confirm it is within acceptable limits before and during entry. Ventilation dilutes and removes toxic or flammable gases and restores oxygen. Entering an oxygen-deficient space without ventilating is a frequent cause of confined-space fatalities.
