Manway Lid
Manway Lid
(OP)
I have been looking around for a specification or OSHA regulation that can give me the required angle that an attached Man way with spring assist handhold should be so the lid will lay back on its own without help from a tie down. I have not found anything that can help me when I do Inspections on these tanks

As posted it may come under the "confined space" rules where there has to be no possibility that the entrance can be covered while the vessel is occupied or under a vessel entry permit. This done to insure that there is communication between the hole watch and tank occupants.
If you purchased a manway cover that was supposed to stay open then your case is that what you purchased is malfunctioning.
