Confined Space Awareness training is crucial for anyone who may work in or around confined spaces.

In this course you will learn the importance of recognising potential hazards, understanding the risks involved, and taking appropriate precautions to protect oneself and others.

Confined spaces are areas that have limited entry and exit points, making them potentially hazardous environments. These spaces can include storage tanks, sewers, tunnels, and other enclosed areas.

There are a number of hazards to be aware of when working in a confined space, including inadequate ventilation, flammable and explosive vapours, moving parts and piping, and lighting and electricity.

You will learn how these can impact safety in a confined space, as well as the preventative measures that can be employed to mitigate these risks, such as atmospheric testing, personal protective equipment (PPE) and the use of a confined space entry permit. By learning about these dangers and implementing safety measures, you will be able to significantly reduce the likelihood of accidents, injuries, or even fatalities in confined spaces.

Topics covered in this course include:

• Confined spaces
• Inadequate ventilation
• Contaminants
• Flammable and explosive vapours
• Atmospheric testing
• Moving parts and piping
• Lighting and electricity
• Protective equipment
• Using a confined space entry permit
