PERMIT-REQUIRED CONFINED SPACES

Permit-Required Confined Space Standard - Written Program

• Permit spaces and permit space entry requirements
• Any identified hazards
• The employer's experience with the space (i.e., the knowledge of hazardous conditions)
• Precautions or procedures to be followed when in or near permit spaces.

When employees of more than one employer are conducting entry operations, the affected employers must coordinate entry operations to ensure that affected employees are appropriately protected from permit space hazards.

Contractors also must be given this and other pertinent information regarding hazards and operations in permit spaces and be debriefed at the conclusion of entry operations.
