Confined Space Management Plan

Confined spaces pose unique risks to worker safety, but those risks can be managed with the right plan. This Confined Space Management Plan gives your organisation the policy, responsibilities and procedure needed to run confined space work safely under an entry permit system.

It covers the review procedure, document control, the confined space management policy and definitions, the responsibilities of the organisation, managers, supervisors, gas tester, standby person and contractors, and the procedure from risk assessment to permit closure. A work flow chart shows the entry steps.

Two forms put it into practice: a Confined Space Identification and Risk Assessment Form to decide whether a space is a confined space, and a Confined Space Entry Permit with its risk control measures, atmospheric testing record and sign-offs.

It suits anyone responsible for the safety of workers in confined spaces, in organisations of any size.
