Isolation and Energy Control
11
All connected process lines, equipment and energy sources have been identified.
Critical12
Required lockout and tagout controls have been applied and independently verified.
Critical13
Positive isolation such as blanking, blinding or physical disconnection is used where required.
Critical14
Stored pressure, liquids, gases, heat and other residual energy have been safely released.
Critical15
Rotating, moving or mechanically driven equipment is immobilized and secured.
Critical16
Electrical equipment within or connected to the space is isolated or protected as required.
CriticalCleaning and Preparation
17
The space has been drained, cleaned, purged or flushed as required.
Critical18
Hazardous residues, sludge, scale and deposits have been assessed and controlled.
Critical19
Inlets, outlets, drains and overflow routes that could introduce hazards are controlled.
CriticalAtmospheric Testing
20

Critical21
Atmospheric testing is performed by a trained and authorized person.
Critical22
The atmosphere has been tested before entry at appropriate levels and locations.
Critical23
Oxygen concentration is within the site-approved safe range.
Critical24
Flammable gas or vapor concentration is within the permitted entry limit.
Critical25
Relevant toxic gases, vapors and contaminants are below the permitted exposure limits.
Critical26
Gas test results, time, location and tester details are recorded on the permit.
Critical27
Continuous or periodic atmospheric monitoring is provided as required.
CriticalVentilation
28
Natural or mechanical ventilation is adequate for the identified hazards.
Critical29
Ventilation supplies clean air and does not introduce exhaust fumes or contaminants.
Critical30
Required mechanical ventilation remains operating throughout occupancy.
Critical31
Ventilation ducting is positioned effectively and does not obstruct access or rescue.
Attendant and Entry Control
32
A trained confined space attendant is assigned and remains outside the space.
Critical33
The attendant has no other duty that interferes with continuous monitoring.
Critical34
An accurate entry and exit register is maintained for all entrants.
Critical35
Reliable communication is established between entrants and the attendant.
Critical36
