Safe work
Preparation starts with finding the missing precaution. Confined-space entry checks brings measurement, isolation, ventilation and rescue planning together. Follow it with pre-work toolbox meetings to discuss changes and stop-work conditions.
Compare the checks with the actual task and identify who will verify each condition, where and when. A checked box on a permit is not enough if the equipment state or simultaneous work has changed. Recheck those conditions before starting.
