Flow Chart

This flowchart helps determine if a space is considered a confined space and what permit requirements apply. It evaluates if a space has restricted entry/exit, is not meant for continuous human occupancy, and contains inherent, introduced or adjacent hazards like low oxygen, toxic gases, or mechanical/electrical dangers to determine if atmospheric monitoring and a full permit are necessary before entry is allowed.
