A Confined Space Entry Permit is a formal document required before entering a confined space, which is an area not designed for continuous occupancy and has limited means of entry or exit. This permit ensures that safety measures are in place to protect workers from hazards such as toxic gases, low oxygen levels, or physical dangers. The permit outlines specific procedures, including atmospheric testing, ventilation requirements, and emergency response plans. It must be completed and signed by a qualified person, ensuring that all safety protocols are followed to minimize risks during the entry into the confined space.
