Can confined space permits be transferred from one individual to another?

Confined space permits are specific to the individual who has been trained and authorized to work in a confined space. The reason behind this specificity is that each permit is designed to reflect the knowledge, training, and qualifications of the individual who will be performing work in that potentially hazardous environment. This ensures that safety protocols are adhered to and that the worker is aware of the risks and procedures associated with the particular confined space.

Transferring a permit to another individual could compromise safety, as the new individual may not have received the same level of training or may not be familiar with that specific confined space's hazards and necessary safety measures. Consequently, to maintain safety and accountability standards, confined space permits must be treated as individual certifications that cannot be passed around or transferred.
