Description
This course combines confined spaces training and the use of gas testing equipment. It is about the safety of people who enter or are associated with confined spaces and ensuring that a safe atmosphere exists to permit work to be carried out.
Hazards and risk management in confined spaces are covered, roles and responsibilities of all parties, and the maintenance and operation of gas testing equipment.
Our course covers both theory and practical in our purpose-built training facility to provide realistic scenario experiences. We can customise the course to your workplace, as well as deliver it on your site.
Participants finish the course being able to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of confined spaces, and their permit notification and implementation requirements.
- Identify control measures to eliminate, isolate, and minimise the risk of hazards in confined spaces.
- Demonstrate knowledge of monitoring and confined space testing requirements.
- Describe the responsibilities and duties of people entering confined spaces or conducting observation duties for confined spaces.
- Identify hazards and controls within confined spaces.
- Develop an emergency procedure plan for a confined space.
- Complete documentation required for confined space entry.
- Demonstrate knowledge of gas testing and related hazards in the energy and chemical industry.
- Perform gas tests, and interpret and respond to gas test results, in an energy and chemical plant.
- Demonstrate knowledge of atmospheric testing in potentially hazardous environments.
- Conduct atmospheric tests; and interpret and respond to atmospheric testing results
