-
Rescue Team
-
Rescue Team Phone #
-
Provide location, phone # of person on site, entry start time, and estimated duration. Notify again once entry is completed.
Ventilation
-
Employees shall not enter a confined space if a hazardous atmosphere exists. If at any time, the LEL exceeds the Permissible Levels, the employee shall immediately evacuate the confined space. Forced air ventilation is used to maintain oxygen at a safe level and prevent a hazardous concentration of flammable gasses and vapors. The air supply for forced air should be from a clean source and should not increase hazards. (i.e. vehicle exhaust)

Ensure that all areas of the space are tested, including entrance and all applicable work spaces. Enter results in the areas below...
-
Date/Time
-
Location within the confined space
-
Oxygen (O2) (acceptable range 19.5% - 23.5%):
-
Explosive LEL% (acceptable range < 10%):
-
Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) (acceptable range < 10 ppm):
-
Carbon Monoxide (CO) (acceptable range < 35 ppm):
-
Are all readings acceptable making the space safe to enter?
-
Signature
Atmospheric Readings During Entry
-
Atmospheric conditions should be continuously monitored while entrant(s) are within the confined space. Conditions should be documented every 30 minutes until the entrant(s) have exited the confined space.
