Confined Spaces Audit Checklist

This Confined Spaces Audit template helps teams identify and maintain a register of confined spaces and verify critical safety controls. Sections cover signage, access restrictions and emergency winch points; training records with employee names and training years; permit-to-work availability, completion, storage, and retention; emergency procedures and evidence of drills and refresher training; and equipment checks for breathing apparatus, gas monitors, winch and tripod, and harnesses with inspection dates, serial numbers, and use-by dates. An action register captures impairments with priority, assignee, and due date, followed by auditor and manager sign-off.
