RIIWHS202E Enter And Work In Confined Spaces

The purpose of our nationally recognised Confined Spaces course is to provide students with the knowledge and capability to safely enter and conduct work in confined spaces across many work sites in Australia.

The training in its current form meets the criteria of the unit of competency requirements.

Confined spaces can be enclosed or partially enclosed and are not intended to be areas where people work. Storage tanks, pressure vessels, pipes and sewers are all examples of confined spaces and due to poor ventilation,it poses a great danger for workers, therefore the appropriate training is vital.

Shamrock have developed a detailed training plan with an emphasis on risk assessment and safety precautions, ensuring that all students will have the confidence to undertake work in confined spaces across many different working environments.

This course will give you the necessary tools to be able to plan and prepare a job for confined space entry, carry out work in various types of confined spaces such as tanks and vessels, safely enter and exit a confined space, inspect and isolate a confined space when necessary, complete permits and finally maintain a clean work area.

All aspects of this course will be taught through written and practical teachings at our onsite training facility in Brisbane, within easy access to the airport. The course material will include, but is not limited to the following;

• Hazard identification, risk assessment and control measures
