The confined spaces course Brisbane is a legal requirement for any worker entering or supervising entry into a confined space as part of their work in Queensland. Tanks, pits, tunnels, pipe systems, silos - any enclosed space where the atmosphere could be hazardous. Principal contractors on Brisbane sites won't let workers near a confined space without a current competency. And for good reason - the consequences of going in without proper training are serious.

Common confined spaces on Brisbane worksites include manholes, water and sewage infrastructure, enclosed vessels, chemical storage tanks, and underground civil infrastructure.
