Application and Relevance
This course provides the skills and knowledge required to enter and work in confined spaces.
This course is appropriate for those working in operational roles undertaking work in confined spaces (enclosed or partially enclosed) for the purpose of carrying out work or inspections. The course can be tailored to suit the practical scenarios relevant to your company’s confined space operations. It is designed to teach participants how to identify confined space hazards, how to work safely within confined spaces according to an issued permit and how to operate various confined space safety equipment.
This course is not recommended for Standby / Observers. Acting as a confined space standby/observer places additional responsibilities on a person not covered in the one-day course.
