Who is responsible for approving and cancelling all entry permits in a confined space operation?

In confined space operations, the entry supervisor plays a critical role in ensuring safety and compliance with regulations. This individual is responsible for approving and cancelling all entry permits. The entry supervisor's duties include assessing the conditions of the confined space, ensuring that all safety protocols are followed, and confirming that all necessary precautions are in place before granting permission for individuals to enter.

The entry supervisor takes on the responsibility of evaluating potential hazards and overseeing the safety measures that need to be in place during the operation. This includes coordinating with other team members, such as entrants and attendants, and ensuring that they understand their roles and the risks involved.

By granting or revoking entry permits, the entry supervisor ensures that only safe and approved operations can take place, thereby significantly reducing the risk of accidents and injuries within confined spaces.
