Conduct self-assessment and annual review of the PRCS entry process. If the scope of work includes confined space entry, specify confined space entry training and a written program as a condition for subcontractors working on site. It may be posted in a conspicuous location. Entry supervisors Assess the hazards for each confined space entry, and specify suitable control measures. Discuss all aspects of the entry with entrants and attendants, and solicit their input in designing mitigation measures.
Ensure entrants have the opportunity to witness atmospheric testing.
Verify that rescue services are available and the means for contacting them are operating reliably. Prepare, coordinate, verify and approve the permit, and authorize entry. Terminate an entry and cancel the permit as required. Ensure that entry operations remain consistent with the terms of the permit, and that acceptable entry conditions and work operations continue throughout the entry. If responsibility for a PRCS entry operation is transferred, ensure that all participants are completely familiar with the hazards, mitigation measures, and other information noted on the permit.
