Confined Space Training

Minimising the risks when working in tight, confined spaces is essential. Workers need to be aware of the risks before entering and be fully prepared every time.

Confined spaces are defined as any space that has restricted entry methods by way of size, location or method (such as automatic lockable doors). Confined spaces aren’t all tunnels and vents, they are spaces that have very restricted access too.

These spaces where access is difficult, restricted or limited obviously mean that other regular hazards pose more of a threat since escape isn’t so easy.

Risks of fire, explosion, loss of consciousness, asphyxiation and drowning are all real dangers that workers need to be aware of when working in confined spaces.

Environments like mines, factory or farm silos and vats, sewers, large trucks, industrial machinery and manholes could all present dangers. Our course will teach all workers on how to identify and best prepare for these issues in the workplace.

This Course Covers The Following Topics:

• Applicable legislations and company confined space procedures

• Definitions and types of confined spaces

• Hazard identification and risk management procedures

• Hazardous atmospheres including gas monitoring techniques

• Isolation, purging, ventilation

• Rescue equipment and procedures

• Industry case studies

Completing this course will show proof of competency with a nationally recognised certificate to prove that they are competent to work in confined spaces. This has to be issued by an RTO (Registered Training Organisation) like Link Resources
