Enter and Work in Confined Space

The Enter and Work in Confined Space course is a nationally recognised training course that provides participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to safely and efficiently work in or around confined spaces. Confined spaces are commonly found in underground popes, tanks, ducts, flues, chimneys, containers or other similar enclosed or partially enclosed structures. Confined spaces do pose dangers because these areas are usually not designed for people work in and around. The course also provides participant’s with the skills to plan and prepare to enter a confined space, exiting a confined space and clean up procedures.

This course is ideal for people working  the drilling, mining, extractive (quarrying) and civil construction industries who have been identified as requiring to enter and work in a confined space. The training is delivered face to face and typically takes a maximum of 8 hours to complete depending on group size and experience. Courses can be delivered from one of our locations or on site providing the correct equipment is available.

The Enter and Work in Confined Space course covers the Units of Competency required for successful confined space entry, along with practical demonstrations and assessments on safe work methods, obtaining a permit to enter and exiting standards for confined spaces. Participants will learn to identify and confirm the risks associated with entering partly enclosed or fully enclosed spaces as well as how to conduct work in a confined space safely and with confidence.
