About This Checklist

Protect your construction workers from the dangers of confined spaces with our comprehensive OSHA Confined Space Entry in Construction Audit Checklist. Confined spaces in construction present unique hazards that can lead to serious injuries or fatalities if not properly managed. This checklist is designed to help construction managers, safety officers, and competent persons conduct thorough audits of confined space entry programs and practices. By systematically addressing key areas of confined space safety, this checklist helps prevent accidents, ensures proper entry procedures, and promotes compliance with OSHA's Confined Spaces in Construction Standard.

FAQs

The checklist should be used before initial entry into a confined space, when conditions change, and periodically (e.g., monthly) to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.

The checklist covers areas such as identification and evaluation of confined spaces, permit-required confined space programs, entry permits, atmospheric testing, ventilation, communication procedures, rescue and emergency services, and worker training.

The audit should be conducted by a competent person, as defined by OSHA, who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in confined spaces and has the authority to take prompt corrective measures.

The checklist is based on OSHA's Confined Spaces in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA), ensuring that all key requirements for confined space entry in construction are addressed during audits.

Yes, while the core confined space entry principles apply to all construction sites, the checklist can be customized to include specific hazards and entry procedures for different types of confined spaces encountered in various construction projects.
