QAL Critical Control Checklist - Confined Space

by Kel Peterson, from the Community

This checklist supports safe confined space work by verifying critical controls before and during entry. It covers gas monitoring and calibration, ventilation, isolation of energy and substances, access security and signage, personnel verification, and emergency readiness. Use it to confirm equipment condition, permits, locks and tags, and that rescue plans, communications, and retrieval gear are in place and maintained. If any control is not met, work must stop until verified. Templates are illustrative and should be adapted to your site requirements and local regulations.
