Course Outline
This enter and work in confined spaces refresher course covers entering and working in confined spaces in resources and infrastructure industries. This nationally recognised confined space course is appropriate for those working in an (enclosed or partially enclosed confined space) for the purpose of carrying out work or inspections or for those performing entry or stand-by person roles, at worksites within:
- Civil construction
- Metalliferous/ Coal mining and Drilling
- Extractive industries
A confined space refresher should be completed every two years to ensure your knowledge remains up to date. In Australia, OHS and WHS laws are updated frequently based on the changing needs and situations of different industries, so by completing a confined space refresher course, you can ensure you remain compliant to any confined space working changes. We recommend this course be completed alongside a Working Safely at Heights refresher or full course if you are working in the mining and construction industries — it’s extremely important to have someone skilled in these areas on any work site to prevent accident or injury.
The work in confined space course can be completed as a Full course for someone who has never done it before or as a refresher course for those who have done it before but need their SOA current within two years for industry requirements. For the full course information visit the ‘Confined Space page‘.
