Confined Space Entry Permit – Editable Permit to Work (PTW) Template
A Confined Space Entry Permit is a critical safety control used to manage the significant risks associated with entering and working in confined spaces. These environments can present serious hazards such as oxygen deficiency, toxic atmospheres, engulfment, restricted access, and limited emergency response capability.
The JSEAsy Confined Space Entry Permit is a professionally developed, fully editable Permit to Work (PTW) template designed to help businesses formally authorise confined space entry, implement required controls, and demonstrate compliance with Australian WHS legislation and recognised industry best practice.
What Is a Confined Space Entry Permit?
A Confined Space Entry Permit is a formal authorisation system that confirms:
The space has been correctly identified as a confined space
Hazards have been assessed and controlled prior to entry
Atmospheric testing has been completed and verified
Workers, standby persons, and supervisors are competent and authorised
Emergency and rescue arrangements are in place before work begins
The permit ensures confined space work is planned, monitored, suspended, and closed out safely.
