Confined Space Entry Program Templates — OSHA 1910.146

Confined space entry is one of the most hazardous activities in both construction and general industry, with fatalities occurring every year due to inadequate planning and procedures. Our confined space entry program templates are built on the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.146 and 29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA (construction-specific standard).

These templates cover everything from space identification and classification to atmospheric testing procedures, entry permits, and rescue planning. They're designed for practical use — not just audit compliance — so your workers are genuinely protected every time they enter a permit-required space.

For a detailed overview of OSHA's requirements, read our Confined Space Entry Programs guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

A non-permit confined space meets the basic definition (large enough to enter, limited entry/exit, not for continuous occupancy) but does not contain serious hazards. A permit-required space has additional hazards such as hazardous atmosphere, engulfment risk, converging walls, or other recognized serious hazards requiring formal entry procedures.
Yes. The confined space program template includes a complete entry permit form as well as the overall written program. You can also purchase the entry permit as a standalone form if you already have a written program and just need permit documentation.
Yes. While the template is primarily based on 29 CFR 1910.146 (general industry), it includes notes and modifications for the construction-specific confined space standard (29 CFR 1926 Subpart AA). The fundamental requirements are very similar.
