CONFINED SPACE Training Courses SA

Confined Space Training on-site in Adelaide, Gawler, Barossa, Riverland, Murray Bridge, Adelaide Hills, Mildura and regional SA, NSW & VIC. Confined Space training is a vital part of keeping workers safe and ensuring compliance with WHS regulations for employers. For many industries, the need to work in environments not designed for human occupation or a risk of changing atmospheres from unsafe oxygen levels, to threats of engulfment from flooding water or other material is often a regular occurrence. 

These hazardous work tasks can and are performed safely every day, thanks to well thought through and documented safety management plans and procedures. Confined space training will equip you with the skills and knowledge of how to work safely in small places, through identifying hazards using risk assessments, implementing control measures, fulfilling compliance and regulatory requirements through the use and understanding of Permits to Work, Rescue Plans, SWMS, SOP's etc. In addition, the practical skills to correctly select, use and maintain suitable PPE for the task. 

Confined space safety training achieves the competency required to work in a confined space (enclosed or partially enclosed) for the purpose of carrying out work or inspections.  Including skills and knowledge to test the working atmosphere using gas test apparatus to find out if it is safe for the work to take place.
