Course Name

Enter and Work in Confined Spaces

Course Outline

This unit describes that workers are to be formally trained prior to obtain the skills and knowledge before entering and working in confined spaces on Construction sites and in the Resources and Infrastructure Industries.

A confined space is any space presented on a construction or mine site that is not typically classed as a place of work for a “period” of time. Entering a confined space is considered “excursions” only to commence and complete a task.  Examples of this are welding pipes in a confined area, cleaning silos, sewers, vessels / tanks, containers, conditioning ducts, chimneys, enclosed engine bays, manhole pits to name a few.

The legislation clarifies that any confined space if they are considered hazardous to work in and not fit for people in  work in normal conditions whether that be via air, land and sea, then measures are taken to ensure a safe method to complete the task.  Students as a part of this unit must also use a hand held atmospheric monitoring device and correct procedures followed using an entry permit.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy

Under the legislation, we are able to provide you two options.

The first option; the student can effectively communicate both verbally and written and is able to competently read and write while under instruction throughout the course unassisted.

The second option requires direct assistance for the student, where writing is somewhat difficult.  Therefore in regards to written assessments we are able to conduct a one-on-one verbal assessment with the student.

This process involves the assessor verbally asking the assessment questions in a one on one scenario.

  • This is also not a spelling test.
