Confined Spaces | Global Skills Development

Nationally Recognised Confined Space Training:

RTO#45645

Confined spaces are commonly found in tanks, ducts, flues, chimneys, containers or other similar enclosed or partially enclosed structures. They pose dangers because they are usually not designed to be areas where people work.

This course is appropriate for those working in operational roles undertaking work in confined spaces in the Resources and Infrastructure Industries. It is designed to teach participants how to identify confined space hazards, work safely within confined spaces according to an issued permit and operate various confined space safety equipment.

This training is required for anyone who may be required to act as a standby, operate gas detectors or to safely and efficiently enter and work in a confined space. On completion participants will be able to competently understand legislation and standards applicable to enter and work in confined spaces and:

obtain appropriate entry permit and instructions for performing work in confined space
interpret and apply safe work method statements
apply tagging and lock out
select, wear and care for personal protective equipment
use atmospheric monitoring devices prior to entering the confined space and during confined space activity
applying safe materials handling methods
remove tagging and lock out, and cleaning up the area

Gas Test Atmospheres

This course is for those individuals who may be required to carry out gas testing of an atmosphere prior to entering a specific area or workspace. Such as working environments which may be hazardous, unpredictable, subject to time pressure, chaotic and expose responders to risk, on land or water, by day or night. Or workplace atmospheres which may include visible and invisible hazards and hazardous surfaces.

It covers the skills and knowledge required to test the working atmosphere using electronic test apparatus, to find out if it is safe for the proposed work, interpret readings and take actions based on the interpretation.

Situations that require testing might include:

− confined spaces

− enclosed and partially enclosed spaces

− hot work

− storage tanks, silos, pits, pipes, shafts, ducts, transport vehicles and ships

− testing as part of issuing a work permit

− monitoring as part of working under a work permit

− open areas

− holding the gas tester by hand

− lowering the gas tester into a space, e.g. on a line.
