    retrieving a first confined space permit and a first confined space access procedure indexed to the first space reference code;

    synchronizing an audit report recording if a user follows the first confined space access procedure from the mobile device to an audit database, wherein the audit report is linked to the first confined space access procedure in a confined space database and to user data for the user in a user database; and

    automatically displaying the audit report linked to the first confined space in response to displaying a procedure status for the first confined space access procedure of the plurality of confined space access procedures and displaying an audit report audit status for the user.
