Attachments A through D provide samples of hot work and permit-required confined space entry forms, SDS, atmospheric monitoring equipment information, and general testing protocols. Attachment E, “Setting Up a Permit-Required Confined Space Program,” contains easy, step-by-step instructions for required and suggested actions in the implementation of a confined space program that meets regulatory requirements. Attachment F, “Permit-Required Confined Space (PRCS) Decision Flow Chart,” helps employers to determine the required entry procedure as defined by the confined space standard.
