Sentry — Confined Space Permits & Rescue, Without the Paper

The deadliest job on site still runs on a clipboard.

Confined space entries and rescues get logged on paper that gets smudged, soaked, lost, or filled out from memory hours later. Sentry moves it to the phone in your pocket — offline and timestamped — then turns every record into a finished audit, training brief, or debrief deck. Not another form in a drawer.

For Fire & Rescue

Confined space rescue is fast, high-stakes, and almost entirely on paper — with one person trying to watch the scene and write all of it down at the same time. The record almost always loses.

The old way

One person can't do three jobs

Watching the scene, tracking every report, and recording it all at the same moment isn't possible — the instant the scribe looks down to write, they've stopped watching.

Remember the right thing, right on time

Vitals, air readings, actions, CAN reports — every one has to be logged on a schedule, from memory, with nothing prompting you.

The form never quite fits

One permit rarely covers everything, so you end up juggling multiple paper logs — then trying to reassemble them into one story afterward.

Paper still isn't a report

What you walk away with has to be rebuilt into a standards-compliant report — and it's no use for training or debrief without redoing the work.

How Sentry fixes it

Simpler than the paper

One guided flow instead of a clipboard of forms — Sentry asks for what's needed, one step at a time. Quicker to fill, easier to follow.

It remembers for you

Sentry prompts every vital, reading, and report on the clock, so nothing rides on the scribe's memory.

One record, not five forms

Air, vitals, actions, accountability — all captured in a single timeline that's already assembled.

The report writes itself

At termination you have a standards-ready record — plus a training brief and debrief deck — saved, searchable, and ready with no extra work.

…are would-be rescuers who went in after someone else. Discipline under pressure is the whole game — and Sentry keeps that discipline in your hand instead of in your head.

For Plants & Safety

You already run a tight permit program. The problem isn't the work — it's that paper makes you do the same work several times over: fill the forms, watch the clock, then rebuild all of it into something useful after.

The old way

One entry, a stack of forms

A single entry can mean a permit, an atmospheric log, a lockout check, a rescue plan, contractor sign-ins — separate sheets to fill, track, and later reconcile into one file.

Nothing keeps time but you

The permit is time-limited and the atmosphere has to be re-checked on a schedule. Paper can't tell you when the next check or the expiration is due — that's on whoever's watching the clock.

The form doesn't know your standard

A blank permit treats every entry the same. You work past the parts that don't apply — and when a standard or SOP changes, every form has to be reworked.

The permit is where the work ends

Once it's filled, the paper just gets filed. Pulling an audit package, spotting a trend, or building a training example from it means doing the work over again by hand.

How Sentry fixes it

One flow, one record

Sentry runs a single guided flow that gathers everything the entry requires and assembles it into one complete record — nothing to reconcile.

It runs the clock

Sentry tracks the entry and prompts each re-check and the permit window on time, so the schedule never rides on someone remembering.

Built on your standard

Sentry asks only what the entry requires under 1910.146 and your SOPs — and stays current when they change.

The record keeps working

Every entry becomes an audit-ready package and training material on its own — the data you already captured, put to work.

1FLOW — NOT A STACK OF FORMS

Permit, atmospheric log, monitoring, write-up — Sentry gathers it once, on the clock, and produces the finished record itself.

It's not a form. It's a guide that runs the call with you.

Start the incident and the clock starts. Instead of a clipboard packed with tiny fields, Sentry asks one question at a time — and adapts as you answer. Say there's a single entry point and it never asks about the others; you only ever fill in what applies. As rescuers go on and off air it starts the right timers and prompts the right reports — CAN reports, air checks, vitals, handoffs — exactly when they're due. It's built on your SOPs and NFPA/OSHA, so everything is gathered the way the standard needs it: timestamped, with photos, ready to become a report, a training brief, or a debrief.

Are there multiple entry points?

Answer “No” and the entrance-location questions are skipped — you never fill in what doesn't apply.

One question at a time, and it adapts to your answers.

Close the incident and the record becomes a report, brief, or debrief.

It listens, too

Hold the phone up while someone briefs you and Sentry captures it live, pulling the details into the record — or dictate any field by voice. A clip-on mic (recommended) cuts through a loud scene; it still works without one.

Import CAD & radio

Drop in the CAD incident data and recorded radio traffic. Sentry folds them into the record and uses them to sharpen the debrief and training.

Synced time log

Get one timeline with the matching radio traffic alongside every action — a clean, minute-by-minute record ready for review, training, or the report.

No clipboard, no stack of forms — one simple screen that gathers exactly what your standards require, then does the paperwork for you.

The record stops being paperwork. It starts being an asset.

Capturing the data clean is table stakes. The real point is what Sentry does with it the moment an entry or incident closes.

Submission-ready audits

Every entry and incident compiles into a complete, formatted package the second it closes — ready to hand to OSHA, corporate EHS, insurance, or your review board. No reassembling it after the fact.

Training briefs from the real thing

Turn an actual entry or rescue into a teaching tool. Sentry builds a training brief from what really happened — the readings, the timeline, the calls made — ready to run at the next drill.

Debrief decks in one tap

After a call, generate a clean debrief presentation straight from the record. Walk the crew through the real timeline instead of rebuilding it on a whiteboard from memory.

Same few minutes of capture. Three finished deliverables out the other end.

I'd rather build it with you than guess.

If you run confined space work or rescue, tell me where the paper actually hurts — what you skip when it's 2am, what you can never find later, what an inspector or a review always digs into. That's what shapes Sentry.
