Confined Space Entry Permit Management System for Field Crews
Kissflow issues a confined space entry permit that requires a passed gas test, a dedicated attendant, and confirmed rescue readiness before the first entrant goes in, then tracks exactly who is inside, for how long, and under what atmosphere for the entire duration of the entry.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
Nobody outside a confined space knows who is still inside unless something tracks it.
A tank, a vessel, or a below-grade vault qualifies as a confined space precisely because of what can go wrong inside it: oxygen deficiency, a toxic gas pocket, or engulfment risk that a person cannot sense before it disables them. The controls a permit is supposed to enforce, atmospheric testing before entry, continuous gas monitoring, a dedicated attendant who never leaves their post, a clear entrant log, exist because more people have died attempting an unplanned rescue than died in the original incident. A verbal headcount shouted at the space's entrance is not the same as a permit system that knows exactly who is inside at any moment, what the last gas reading showed, and whether a rescue team is actually standing by.
Kissflow requires a passed gas test, confirmed attendant assignment, and standby rescue coverage before the permit authorizes entry, logs every entrant and exit individually with a timestamp, forces a re-test on any atmosphere change or work break, and keeps rescue readiness status visible on the permit for the entire duration of the entry, not just at the start.
Where a confined space entry loses track of who is inside
Gas testing is not tied to authorization
A test gets done, but the permit does not enforce it as a precondition to entry.
Attendant coverage is assumed
Nobody confirms the attendant is present and has not left their post.
Entrant log is manual
A clipboard at the space entrance is the only record of who is inside.
Rescue readiness is unverified
Rescue equipment and personnel availability are assumed, not confirmed before entry.
Six modules. Every entry gated by a passed gas test and confirmed attendant coverage.
Configure permit templates and monitoring intervals by space classification.
Permit request
Entry is requested against a specific confined space, task, and expected duration before any work is scheduled.
Hazard and JSA assessment
A job safety analysis is completed for the specific entry task, naming the hazards particular to that space.
Gas testing and monitoring
Atmospheric testing for oxygen, flammability, and toxic gas is required and logged before entry and on a re-test schedule.
Approval
The permit is authorized only once gas testing, attendant coverage, and standby rescue readiness are all confirmed.
Entrant and attendant tracking
Every entrant and exit is logged individually with a timestamp, with continuous attendant confirmation throughout.
Closure and rescue readiness
The permit closes once every entrant is confirmed out, with rescue readiness tracked and auditable throughout the entry.
From request to system of record in four steps
Submit
Entry is requested against the specific confined space, task, and expected duration of the work.
Review
Atmospheric gas testing and a task-specific hazard assessment are completed before anyone approaches the opening.
Approve
The permit is approved once testing, attendant coverage, and standby rescue readiness are all confirmed.
Record
Every entrant is logged in and out by name, and the permit closes only on full, confirmed clearance.
What changes when confined space entry runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Gas testing | A step that happens, unenforced by the permit | A required precondition before entry is authorized |
| Attendant coverage | Assumed | Confirmed as part of the authorization |
| Entrant log | A clipboard at the entrance | A digital log of every entry and exit |
| Rescue readiness | Unverified | Tracked and visible for the duration of entry |
| Who is inside right now | A guess | Known at any moment from the entrant log |
| Audit trail | Reconstructed after an incident | A complete record for every entry permit |
Connects to your HSE and gas detection systems; Kissflow does not replace physical rescue equipment or personnel
Kissflow runs the permit, testing, and entrant-tracking layer. Physical attendant coverage and rescue capability remain in the field.

Built for how a confined space entry actually needs to be controlled
Gas testing enforced, not just recorded
Entry cannot be authorized without a passed atmospheric test on file.
Always knows who is inside
A live entrant log replaces the clipboard at the entrance.
Rescue readiness tracked, not assumed
Readiness status is visible for the full duration of the entry.
Live in weeks
Configure permit templates in the visual builder, or describe the use case to the AI Builder.
Governed from day one
Role-based access and a full audit trail on every entry permit.
One view for the attendant and HSE
Everyone responsible for the entry sees the same live status.

Get SupportNo. Physical attendant coverage and rescue capability remain entirely in the field. Kissflow runs the permit, testing, and entrant-tracking workflow.
Yes, a passed atmospheric test is a required precondition built into the permit.
Every entrant and exit is logged individually, giving a live count at any moment.
Confined Space authorizes entry into a restricted space. Hot Work authorizes an ignition-source task, and the two permits are often issued together when hot work happens inside a confined space.
Yes, confirmed attendant assignment is part of the authorization step.
Yes, a dashboard shows every open, in-progress, and closed entry permit.
Configuration and AI-assisted app generation move delivery from a multi-month program to a matter of weeks.
Kissflow is certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO/IEC 27001, with role-based access on every record.
