confined space entry permit
Confined spaces are classified as either non-permit required or permit-required. Non-permit required spaces are considered safe for entry without specific precautions, while permit-required spaces have the potential for hazards like toxic atmospheres or limited entry/exit points that require special training and permits for entry.
Improve the ventilation rate
prior to entering a permit-required confined space entry. Emergency rescue assistance must be coordinated and it must be ensured that the fire department is available, if required, to respond for the duration of the entry.
If oxygen levels fall below 19.5% during a permit-required confined space entry, all entrants must stop work immediately and leave the confined space. No one may reenter that space until testing shows that adequate oxygen levels have been restored.
