Confined Space Entry Supervisor
Responsibilities – Aramco Guidelines
The CSE supervisor
(CSES) verifies all preparatory activities have been completed prior to allowing
entry to the confined space.
The CSES is the work
permit issuer, or an individual assigned by the issuer. CSES responsibilities
are to:
Review the CSE plan
that is specific to the confined space.
Communicate the CSE
plan (e.g., specific confined space hazards, precautions, responsibilities, and
emergency procedures) to entrants and standby men.
Ensure proper work
permits (confined space entry, hot work, etc.) are issued prior to allowing work
to commence.
Verify all precautions
of the CSE plan and applicable work permits are properly implemented.
Designate qualified
confined space standby men who are fluent in the language needed to communicate
with the CSES and rescue team.
Verify entrants and
confined space standby men are properly trained.
Coordinate confined
space operations when employees of more than one crew or contractor will be
working simultaneously inside or adjacent to the confined space.
Duties of Fire Wardens in Drill
Provide sufficient
manpower and equipment for safe CSE and work inside the space.
Verify the confined
space is properly isolated per GI 6.012, purged, and the atmosphere is safe to
enter as part of the CSE permit issuance process.
Ensure the atmosphere
within the confined space is monitored as indicated on the CSE Permit and/or the
CSE plan.
Ensure CSE and gas test
logs are properly completed.
Ensure the proper PPE
is provided to personnel entering the confined space and to each confined space
standby man.
ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System
Ensure adequate means
of communication (e.g., two-way radio) and a fire extinguisher (non-CO2 type)
are available for each confined space standby man.
Verify rescue equipment
and a rescue team are readily available in the event of an emergency requiring
evacuation of the confined space.
Ensure the confined
space entrance is barricaded/blocked and a “No Entry” sign posted if the CSE is
suspended.
Terminate CSE and
cancel work permit(s) as necessary (e.g., unsafe conditions develop).
