Confined Space Entry and Breathing Apparatus Training– Three Day Training Course Outline:

Fire and Safety Australia's Confined Space Training and Breathing Apparatus Training course will equip your personnel with the skills required to safely enter confined spaces and wear Breathing Apparatus during normal work or confined space rescues. Our confined space training and breathing apparatus training course lasts for 3 days will teach your personnel how to work in and around confined spaces in accordance with OHS Regulations and Australian Standard 2865-2009. This confined space training course also includes a breathing apparatus training module so that learners understand how to rescue a person from a hazardous atmosphere within a confined space.

Our three day confined space entry and breathing apparatus training course will skill your personnel in all areas of confined space entry. In 2010 we trained well over 2,000 people in confined space training. We have several large national contracts with clients to complete confined space training for hundreds of organisations each year. Details of some of our current clients appear to the right. Our Confined Space Training and Breathing Apparatus Training Course is designed to teach learners how to determine what hazards may exist within the confined spaces, put in place control measures to make the work safer, carry out gas testing, issue work permits, and carry out the work in accordance with confined space Regulations and Standards, ensure that all regulatory processes are followed and if needed perform a rescue of personnel from within a confined space. The confined space training course is designed to thoroughly prepare learners how to safely complete confined space entries.

During the confined space training courses we cover both the theory and practical sides to confined space entry training. Confined space entry training courses are only conducted by experienced emergency services and industry personnel who are fully competent in the usage of confined space equipment and in undertaking confined spaces rescues.

Our confined space trainers have both the qualifications and the relevant industry emergency services experience to walk you through the requirements of entering and working in confined spaces. Fire and Safety Australia regularly teaches on-site confined spaces training courses throughout Australia (we taught over 11,500 people in 2010!). Our confined space trainers travel across Australia (trainers based in every State and Territory) to conduct confined space training courses. Our confined space training and breathing apparatus training courses are nationally recognised training courses and are taught through the Manufacturing Training Package and the Resources and Infastructure Training Package. Learners whom are assessed competent will receive a statement of attainment in the relevant units of competency.

We currently teach some of Australia's largest companies Confined Space Training throughout Australia including organisation like Cement Australia, Alcoa, Snowy Hydro Power Stations, Newport Power Station, Virgin Tech, CSR, James Hardie and many more.

Our confined space training and breathing apparatus training courses (3 days) are a combination of both practical confined space entry training and theoretical confined space training in how to safely prepare personnel for work in confined spaces.

Our 2 day confined space training courses encompass around 40% Practical and 60% theory. Practical confined space entry skills are an extremely important part of the course. Many participants comment that our course is better than other training companies because of our emphasis on practical confined space training scenarios.

If no suitable confined spaces are on-site we have practical confined space training facilities in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. If you prefer on-site training we can bring one of our 4 confined space training trailers onto your site and train your personnel.

This confined space training trailer (pictured below) ensures that all course participants are able to undergo practical confined space entry activities in a realistic and safe environment. Our trailer is over 4.0m long and 2.0m high and can be taken anywhere in Australia. In fact we have 4 trailers across VIC, NSW, SA & QLD that can be used for various confined space training courses. This trailer is used to replicate realistic confined space training and confined space rescue scenarios.

Prior to your confined space training course occurring, we will request a copy of your confined space training policies, confined space entry procedures, confined space safety procedures and confined space entry permits. By having a copy of your confined space permits and procedures before we conduct the confined space training, our trainers are able to customize and tailor the confined space training course directly to your requirements.

We provide on-site confined space training and breathing apparatus training courses at your workplace (normally for 4+ personnel) and we also provide regular confined space training (public/open) courses in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth (Refer to our course finder to the right for dates).
