Course Description

This course provides learners with the skills and knowledge required to enter and work in confined spaces. This course is designed to meet the requirements from the Resources and Infrastructure Industries training package.

Learners will understand how to identify industry requirements, plan and prepare for working in a confined space. Additionally, learners will be able to work safely inside a confined space and then exit safely, including cleaning up their work area when the tasks are completed.

This course prepares learners to undertake the assessment to obtain a Statement of Attainment in RIIWHS202E Enter and work in confined spaces.

Mode of Delivery

Assessment Summary

The learner will be assessed by demonstrating procedures applicable to this unit. They will also be required to answer a number of written questions regarding their actions and theoretical application of knowledge. The assessment will also be part of a simulated activity set by the assessor.

This assessment must be conducted by an SRTA Life & Rescue assessor and must be completed in the workplace or in another environment that accurately simulates the workplace. The assessor is to actively set tasks for the learner and must observe these tasks being performed.

To standardise the application of this assessment, the assessment tasks (performance evidence) are based on those specified in the Unit of Competency, RIIWHS202E Enter and work in confined spaces and those of the RII Training Package. The assessor will use an assessment instrument mapped accordingly to the assessment requirements of this Unit of Competency. Assessors will apply an assessment procedure to ensure you are ready for the assessment and have the right resources and equipment to achieve the right standard.
