The responsibilities associated with implementing a written permit space program, identifying all potential hazards, and providing training to affected employees fall within the broader scope of an employer's duties under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. Employers are required to develop and maintain effective safety programs that ensure the health and safety of their employees, particularly in environments where hazardous materials are present or where permit-required confined spaces exist.

The development of a written permit space program ensures that there is a systematic approach for controlling the risks associated with entering permit spaces. This includes identifying and mitigating potential hazards unique to each space. Additionally, training employees on these hazards and the proper procedures to follow before entering such environments is a critical responsibility to ensure that all employees understand the risks and the necessary safety measures.

While authorized entrants, attendants, and entry supervisors have specific duties related to safety and monitoring during entry operations, the overarching responsibility for creating the program and ensuring compliance lies with the employer. This ensures that there is a solid framework in place for safety management, protecting everyone involved in the operations.
