CWC Confined Space Evaluation Checklist

This Confined Space Evaluation checklist guides teams through determining whether a space is a confined space, if it is permit required, and when alternate entry procedures may be used. It covers identification of atmospheric and physical hazards, ventilation and monitoring requirements, barrier setup, and documentation. Use it to test atmosphere before entry, verify controls, reclassify permit spaces when hazards are eliminated, and certify the space is safe for entry.
