This nationally recognised training course gives participants the necessary skills and knowledge to safely and efficiently work in or around confined spaces. 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 to be areas where people work. On completion participants will be able to competently understand and perform:
- Legislations and standards applicable to enter and work in confined spaces
- Risk management, control procedures and planning work
- Entry permits
- Gas detection
- Equipment inspection
- Enter and work in the confined space
- Exit confined space
- Clean up
- Participants must be a minimum of 17 years of age to sit the assessment, and be proficient in English
- Photo ID, and wear appropriate PPE (Hi-viz clothing, ankle height steel toe boots, hard hat, safety glasses)
- A short literacy and numeracy test will be required
- Assessment type: Theory and Practical
- 1 day including assessment (depending on participants skill levels & previous experience)
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be issued with;
- Statement of attainment(SOA) for the unit RIIWHS202E – Enter and work in confined spaces
