Confined Space Fatal Risk Critical Control Checklist
Ensure critical controls are in place for confined space work in mining operations. This checklist guides supervisors and crews through prework requirements, worker competency, confined space permits, atmospheric testing and monitoring, energy isolation and lockout, and emergency response planning. Verify spotter attendance, communication, entry/exit control, gas testing, documentation, and rescue readiness. Mark each control as Controlled, At Risk, or N/A and pause work until protections are effective.

Confined Space Entry Task Inspection Checklist
This confined space entry task inspection checklist helps teams plan and document safe entry into tanks, pits, silos and other confined spaces. Verify permits and isolation, continuous atmospheric monitoring, calibrated gas testing equipment, ventilation and lighting, communications, trained sentry, sign in and sign out, access and egress, and a rehearsed rescue plan. Use it alongside your SWMS or job safety analysis to support compliance and reduce risk before work begins, and capture corrective actions, assignees and due dates as needed.
