The Trade
Confined-space entry is one of the highest-consequence scopes on any industrial or commercial site. OSHA 1910.146 requires a trained attendant — hole watch — for every permit-required confined space entry. We supply hole watch attendants trained on gas monitoring, rescue protocols, and the communication discipline that keeps entrants safe. The difference between a trained hole watch and an unqualified laborer is the difference between a controlled rescue and a fatality.
Typical Roles
OSHA 1910.146 permit-required confined-space attendant for tanks, vessels, manholes, and enclosed commercial work.

Cross-trained attendant for hot work inside confined spaces — combined fire watch and hole watch coverage.
Permit issuance, pre-entry atmospheric testing, and entry-team coordination on multi-entry operations.

Join the crew — Hole WatchQuestions
Yes. Industrial hole watch is a specialty subset of our roster — attendants with current OSHA 1910.146 training, refinery safety orientation, and TWIC cards maintained on file. Oklahoma refinery shutdowns are recurring dispatches.
No — OSHA 1910.146 requires one attendant per confined space entry. Attempting to share a hole watch across multiple simultaneous entries is a compliance violation and has been a factor in recent Oklahoma workplace fatalities. We staff per-entry and will not undercut that ratio even when asked.
Entry supervisor roles include pre-entry atmospheric testing, permit issuance, and coordination with the rescue team. Ask for an entry-supervisor-level attendant when the project needs permit authority on-site and not just attendant coverage.
