The Confined Space Entry and Atmospheric Gas Testing course has been created to prepare you for all safety and practical aspects of gas testing atmospheres and working safely in confined spaces. This course will also allow you to gain a sound understanding of all requirements which apply to the job.
The course includes a theory component and a face-to-face practical training component which must be completed within 60 days of enrolment. The practical component is delivered in Tullamarine VIC, or may be delivered at suitable workplaces across Victoria or Tasmania by arrangement (which may result in additional travel charges). If you are located in a rural or remote area in Vic or Tas, you can call us on 1800 695 423 to discuss alternate delivery options for the practical component of this course.
Topics covered in this course include:
- Legal and organisational requirements applying to confined space work;
- An introduction to the importance of gas testing in confined spaces;
- Identification of hazards and risks in and around confined spaces, including potential sources of atmospheric contaminants;
- Carrying out risk analyses to determine the risk level of each hazard;
- Common toxic, flammable and asphyxiant contaminants and different types of testing equipment and protocols which may be followed when carrying out atmospheric testing;
- Inspection, care and maintenance of monitoring devices and safety equipment (including calibration of testing equipment);
- Safe practices for testing the work area and interpreting test results (including explanations of explosive limits, exposure standards and other terminology relating to concentration limitations);
- Principles of hazard management and emergency response when working in confined spaces (including common hazard management measures such as lock-out procedures, atmospheric purging and use of breathing apparatus);
- Carrying out and finalising work safely when in confined spaces, including reporting and documentation requirements.
The practical session will check your ability to carry out practical tasks relating to gas testing and confined space work.
This course is based on the national competency standards accredited by the state and national training authorities.
