Confined Space Entry Permit System

Confined Space Entry Permit System

• The primary purpose of a confined space entry permit system is to ensure a safe and controlled environment for workers entering confined spaces by identifying hazards, assessing risks, and implementing necessary controls to mitigate them.

Issuance of a Permit

• A permit should be issued for entering a confined space when the space is identified as having a potential hazard, or when the atmosphere inside the space is not safe for workers.

Components of a Confined Space Entry Permit

• A confined space entry permit should include essential information such as:
• Identification of the confined space and its location
• Purpose and scope of the entry
• Date and time of entry
• Names of authorized entrants and attendants
• Hazards identified and controls implemented
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and rescue equipment required
• Emergency response plan and contact information
• Signature of the authorized person issuing the permit
