Confined Space Rescue Training Outline:

Fire and Safety Australia's Confined Space Rescue Training course will equip your personnel with the skills required to safely enter confined spaces, wear Confined Space Equipment Breathing Apparatus and perform confined space rescues. Our confined space rescue training course lasts for 3 days will teach your personnel how to rescue personnel from confined spaces in accordance with OHS Regulations and Australian Standard 2865-2009. This confined space rescue 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 whilst remaining safe.

Our three day confined space rescue 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 rescue training course is designed to teach learners how to determine what hazards may exist within a confined space, how to put into place a confined space rescue plan and how to carry out a confined space rescue. in accordance with confined space Regulations and Standards. The confined space rescue training course is designed to thoroughly prepare learners how to safely complete confined space rescues in potentially hazardous environments.

During the confined space rescue training courses we cover both the theory and practical sides to perform confined space rescues. Confined space rescue 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 performing confined space rescues in a variety of situations.

Fire and Safety Australia regularly teaches on-site confined spaces rescue training courses throughout Australia (we taught over 11,500 people in 2010!). Our confined space rescue trainers travel across Australia (trainers based in every State and Territory) to conduct confined space rescue training courses.

Our confined space rescue 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 Rescue 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 rescue training courses (3 days) are a combination of both practical confined space rescue training and theoretical confined space rescue planning.

Our 3 day confined space rescue training courses encompass around 60% Practical and 40% theory. Practical confined space rescue skills are an extremely important part of the course and of the skillset of emergency response team members. Many participants comment that our course is better than other training companies because of our emphasis on practical confined space rescue training scenarios.

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

This confined space rescue 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 rescue training course occurring, we will request a copy of your confined space rescue training policies, confined space rescue procedures, confined space safety procedures and confined space rescue plans. By having a copy of your confined space rescue procedures and plans 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 rescue training and breathing apparatus training courses at your workplace (normally for 4+ personnel) and we also provide regular confined space rescue training (public/open) courses in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth (Refer to our course finder to the right for dates).
