How to Manage Risks of Work in Confined Spaces

At APS Training Group, we’re highly experienced in all areas of workplace health and safety procedures, including confined space procedures. This course, designed by our regional Queensland trainers, covers effective ways to identify and manage risks associated with work taking place in confined spaces.

This online program is useful for tradespeople and construction industry professionals, as well as designers, manufacturers and installers that may create areas considered a confined space.

This course was designed to satisfy the underpinning knowledge laid out by Safe Work Australia and model WHS regulations in relation to work carried out in a confined space. It is suitable for any individual or parties conducting a business in, or who have management or control of, a confined space.

Based on these guidelines, participants will gain knowledge and direction relating to:

  • Health & safety duties & obligations
  • Managing risks
  • Entry & exit procedures
  • Identifying hazards
  • Use of signs & barricades
  • Communication & safety monitoring
  • Isolation & atmosphere

This is an awareness course only—without a practical component—so it is not a substitute for a full qualification. Please refer to our Enter and Work in Confined Spaces (RIIWHS202D) unit for a nationally recognised accreditation.
