Confined Space Training Sydney Overview

This 3 day confined space training Sydney includes entry and exit procedures, assessment of associated risks and how to operate safely in a confined space.

This 3 day confined space entry and standby training is appropriate for those working in operational roles where they are required to perform work in confined spaces. It is delivered in 3 days, with a mix of classroom, online & practical skills learning.

This course is designed for workers who need to enter and work in confined spaces, work in accordance with a permit, conduct a hazard analysis and who may be required to act as a standby to observe the permit work, issue a permit including gas testing atmospheres.

However, in order to safely supervise and run a confined space project you may require additional training which includes operate breathing apparatus, confined space rescue and first aid training. Please see our other courses we offer under our Training tab.

What you will learn

locating and applying relevant documentation, policies and procedures
completion of entering and working in confined spaces that safely, effectively and efficiently including:

obtain appropriate entry permit and instructions for performing work in confined space
interpreting and applying safe work method statements
apply tagging and lock out
selecting, wearing and caring for personal protective equipment applicable to all tasks and environment identified
entering the confined space
using atmospheric monitoring devices prior to entering the confined space
working in the confined space
using atmospheric monitoring devices during confined space activity
applying safe materials handling methods
exiting the confined space
remove tagging and lock out
identifying areas that constitute confined spaces
complying with site and equipment safety requirements
complying with the entry and exit procedures, risks and regulations
types of air contaminants and toxic gases
identifying the limitations of breathing apparatus
identifying equipment types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations
complying with site isolation and site control responsibilities and authorities
locations of safety data sheets (SDS) information and application
using confined space and industry terminology.
Cover the skills and knowledge required to undertake the safety observer role for permits requiring a safety observer. This role may also be called a hole watcher or a fire watcher.
Cover the skills and knowledge required to test the working atmosphere, using electronic test apparatus, to find out if it is safe for the proposed work. This includes confined spaces, enclosed and partially enclosed spaces, hot work, storage tanks, silos, pits, pipes, shafts, ducts, transport vehicles and ships, testing as part of issuing a work permit, monitoring as part of working under a work permit, open areas, holding the gas tester by hand and lowering the gas tester into a space, e.g. on a line.
Cover the skills and knowledge required to conduct a hazard analysis. These are typically called: job safety analysis (JSA), job hazard analysis (JHA), job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA) or a safe work method statement (SWMS)
