OSHA Confined Space Permit Template

Obtaining a confined space entry permit is legally required before allowing workers to enter a tight work zone. This is because working with heavy machinery in a confined space can be exceedingly dangerous if the right safety measures are not taken. However, this template can help you enter the right information so there are no delays in commencing work. In this template, you’ll fill out the following fields:

  • • Required PPE
  • • Rescue procedure plan
  • • CSE communication
  • • Periodic atmospheric test
  • • Entrants
  • • Sueprvisors

It might also be helpful to use a construction scope of work template so that you can obtain all necessary permits before construction work begins.
