OSHA
also requires the employer's written program to:
- Identify employee job duties
- Provide, maintain, and require, at no cost to the employee, the use of personal
protective and any other equipment necessary for safe entry (e.g., testing, monitoring,
ventilating, and communications)
- Ensure that at least one attendant is stationed outside the permit space for the
duration of entry operations
- Coordinate entry operations when employees of more than one employer are to be working
in the permit space
- Implement appropriate procedures for summoning rescue and emergency services
- Establish, in writing, and implement a system for the preparation, issuance, use, and
cancellation of entry permits
- Review established entry operations and annually revise the permit-space entry program
- When an attendant is required to monitor multiple spaces, implement the procedures to be
followed during an emergency in one or more of the permit spaces being monitored.
