OVERVIEW
Tradespeople working in tight areas should refresh their confined spaces training every 2-3 years (depending on your industry and job role).
This RIIWHS202E Enter and Work in Confined Spaces refresher course provides renewed training for those wanting to work in confined spaces in Queensland and NSW. It’s a 1-day course that recaps theory and practical elements in a simulated work environment.
What is confined spaces refresher training? Professionals working in tight spaces (like electricians, construction workers, and heating engineers) must have a legal qualification to work in confined spaces safely. Completing a confined spaces refresher course enables you to continue working in hazardous and tight areas, covering emergency and rescue procedures, correct PPE, hazards and risks, and associated apparatus.
Course Details
Major Training’s confined spaces refresher course lasts just 1 day and recaps the key safety procedures and correct equipment use for working in tight areas. It’s taught with a mixture of face-to-face practical training in our simulated training environments and online self-study.
Who is this course for? Tradespeople working in tight spaces are legally required to complete confined spaces training. This includes builders, construction workers, electricians, plumbers, heating engineers, and gas testers working in storage tanks, pressure vessels, boilers, pits, pipes, sewers, wells, shafts, and ducts.
What skills will you learn? You’ll already have completed confined spaces training, so this refresher course will recap everything you previously learned and cover any industry updates, including:
- Plan and prepare to work in confined spaces
- Test and monitor the atmosphere for hazards
- Obtain and comply with entry permits
