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.


Construction Crane Safety




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).
