CONFINED SPACES PROTECTION
2. POLICIES & PROCEDURES—Each facility must have implemented written procedures for confined
spaces, which must cover as a minimum, the following:
a. Permit-required confined spaces:
• Confined spaces that have a medium or high risk identified in the risk assessment must
have a permit for entry.
• Unauthorized employees must be restricted from entering permit-required confined
spaces.
• Warning signs must be posted on all access points. The sign must read:
“DANGER – PERMIT REQUIRED CONFINED SPACE, DO NOT ENTER”.
b. Responsibilities of permit-required confined space entrants, entrant supervisors and attendants.
c. Entry-permit requirements:
• Confined space name.
• Entry purpose, date and duration of work including entry expiry date and time.
• List of authorized entrants, entry attendants and entry supervisor.
• The hazards associated with the confined space and how to control them.
• Isolation procedures.
• Acceptable entry conditions.
• Required atmospheric testing and ongoing monitoring results.
• Rescue and emergency requirements.
• Communication procedures for attendants and entrants.
• Required entry equipment (e.g., tripod and winch, full body harness).
• Details of other permits (e.g. hot work).
d. Annual calibration and pre-entry self calibration for all monitoring and test equipment.
e. Each facility must have an annual documented process for confined space entry procedures
that includes employees, contractors and subcontractors.
f. Requirements for classifying a confined space as a non-permit confined space.
• Ensure the confined space doesn't contain an actual or potential hazardous
atmosphere.
• Ensure the confined space doesn't contain hazards capable of causing death or serious
physical harm. This includes any recognized health or safety hazards including
engulfment in solid or liquid material, electrical shock, or moving parts.
• Entering to remove hazards, the space must be treated as a permit-required confined
space until hazards have been eliminated.
