OSHA Confined Space Entry Permit

OSHA Confined Space Entry Permit Template

Ensure workplace safety and OSHA compliance with this comprehensive confined space entry permit form. Designed for construction firms, manufacturing facilities, utilities companies, and industrial operations, this template streamlines the critical documentation required before any personnel enter permit-required confined spaces.

Built for Safety-Critical Workflows

Confined space entry is one of the most hazardous activities in industrial workplaces. This form template helps safety officers, site supervisors, and compliance managers maintain rigorous documentation of atmospheric testing results, authorized entrants, attendants, entry supervisors, and emergency rescue arrangements—all required under OSHA 1910.146.

The form captures essential pre-entry data including oxygen levels, flammable gas concentrations, toxic substance measurements, and continuous monitoring requirements. It clearly identifies all authorized personnel, their roles, and required training certifications, while documenting emergency procedures and rescue team contact information.

Paperform Makes Compliance Efficient

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can set up the form to automatically require additional safety measures when atmospheric readings fall outside acceptable ranges, or trigger different approval workflows based on the hazard classification of the space.

Use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate your post-submission workflow: route completed permits to safety supervisors for approval, send copies to all authorized entrants via email, log entries in your safety management system, and set up automatic notifications to rescue teams when entry begins. This ensures every stakeholder has real-time visibility into confined space operations.

For facilities requiring signatures from entry supervisors, attendants, and entrants, integrate Papersign (papersign.com) to collect secure eSignatures on completed permits, creating a complete audit trail for OSHA inspections and safety reviews.

Whether you're managing underground utilities, storage tanks, silos, or industrial vessels, this template provides the professional documentation foundation your safety program needs—without the paperwork burden.
