Confined Space Training – Basic One Day Training Course Outline:

This course is a basic one day confined space entry course designed for personnel whom are not required to act as a standby person, issue confined space permits, perform a confined space rescue or undertake gas testing. Most confined space entrants should complete the 2 day confined space training course.

Fire and Safety Australia's Confined Space Training course will equip your personnel with the skills required to safely enter confined spaces. Our confined space training course will teach your personnel how to work in and around confined spaces in accordance with OHS Regulations and Australian Standard 2865-2009.

Our Confined Space Training Courses are 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 and carry out the work in accordance with confined space Regulations and Standards.

During the confined space training courses we will cover both the theory and practical sides to confined space training. Confined space 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 11,000 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 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 Stations, Virgin Tech, CSR, James Hardie and many more.

Our confined space training courses are a combination of both practical training and theoretical training in how to safely prepare personnel for work in confined spaces. 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 training 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 NSW. In fact we have 3 trailers across VIC, NSW & 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 scenario's.

Prior to your confined space training course occurring, we will normally request a copy of your confined space entry and confined space safety procedures, policies and entry permits. By having a copy of your 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 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).
