Enter and Work in Confined Spaces

RIIWHS202E

Nationally Recognised Confined Space training.

Confined spaces are commonly found in tanks, ducts, flues, chimneys, containers, or other similar enclosed or partially enclosed structures. They pose dangers because they are usually not designed as areas where people work.

This course is appropriate for those working in operational roles in the resources and infrastructure industries who work in confined spaces. It is designed to teach participants how to identify confined space hazards, work safely within confined spaces according to an issued permit, and operate various confined space safety equipment.

This training is required for anyone who may be required to act as a standby, operate gas detectors or safely and efficiently enter and work in a confined space.  On completion, participants will be able to competently understand legislation and standards applicable to enter and work in confined spaces and:

  • Obtain appropriate entry permit and instructions for performing work in a confined space

  • Interpret and apply safe work method statements

  • Apply tagging and lock-out

  • Select, wear and care for personal protective equipment

  • Use atmospheric monitoring devices prior to entering the confined space and during confined space activity

  • Applying safe materials handling methods

  • Remove tagging and lock out, and clean up the area
