Confined Spaces Compliance Calendar Software
OSHA's Permit-Required Confined Spaces standard (29 CFR 1910.146) requires employers to identify confined spaces, evaluate hazards, develop entry procedures, train multiple categories of employees, conduct rescue drills, calibrate atmospheric monitoring equipment, and review the program annually. For facilities with multiple confined spaces, the volume of recurring obligations can be difficult to track manually.
Our Confined Spaces Compliance Calendar Software and mobile app ensures every program review, training requirement, rescue drill, and equipment calibration is scheduled, assigned, and documented.
Key Confined Space Compliance Deadlines
Program Review
Review the permit-required confined space program within one year of each entry using cancelled permits to determine if the program adequately protects employees.
Rescue Team Practice Drills
Each rescue team member must practice making permit space rescues at least once every 12 months using simulated rescue operations in actual or representative spaces.
Entry Training (Initial)
Train authorized entrants, attendants, and entry supervisors before initial assignment to confined space duties.
Retraining
Retrain employees when duties change, new hazards are identified, entry procedures change, or program deficiencies are discovered during reviews.
Atmospheric Monitor Calibration
Calibrate and bump-test atmospheric monitoring equipment (O2, LEL, H2S, CO) per manufacturer specifications and before each use.
Confined Space Inventory Update
Review and update the confined space inventory when new spaces are created, spaces are modified, or facility changes occur.
Rescue Service Evaluation
Evaluate the availability and capability of rescue services, including response time, equipment, and training adequacy.
Equipment Inspection & Maintenance
Inspect and maintain retrieval systems, tripods, ventilation equipment, communication devices, and personal protective equipment.
Entry Permit Documentation
Complete and retain entry permits for each confined space entry. Cancelled permits must be retained for at least one year for program review.
Rescue Team First Aid/CPR
Ensure rescue team members maintain current first aid and CPR certifications as required by the standard.
Training Requirements by Role
Authorized Entrant
Must know hazards they may face, recognize signs and symptoms of exposure, understand equipment use, communicate with attendant, and know when to exit the space if conditions change or an evacuation order is given.
Attendant
Must know hazards including signs of exposure, monitor entrants, maintain an accurate count, remain outside the space, communicate with entrants, summon rescue when needed, and perform non-entry rescue when required.
Entry Supervisor
Must know hazards, verify entry conditions, authorize entry by signing the permit, terminate entry and cancel permits when conditions change, and ensure rescue services are available throughout the entry.
