Types of Confined Spaces

• There are two main types of confined spaces: Permit-required and Non-Permit required.

Handling Hazardous Chemicals

• If a hazardous chemical is introduced to a Non-Permit required confined space, an assessment must be conducted to determine if it should be upgraded to a Permit-required confined space.

• A confined space must meet three conditions:
  • Sufficient size for entry.
  • Limited means for entry and exit.
  • Not intended for continuous occupancy.

Required Documentation

• AF Form 1024 is necessary for Permit-required confined spaces.

Classification Factors

• Classification of a confined space is based on oxygen content, flammability, and toxicity levels.

Permit Listings

• A listing for Permit and Non-Permit required spaces can be found in DAFMAN 91-203.

Confined Space Personnel Team

• The Confined Space Personnel Team (CSPT) includes multiple stakeholders involved in safety assessments.

Master Entry Plan Requirement
