Course Category: r_Confined Space Stage 3 - Blended

This course is for individuals who are responsible for planning and supervising entry, atmospheric testing and interpreting gas monitoring results.

Working in confined spaces requires strict control measures, clear planning, and ongoing monitoring to ensure worker safety.

This course includes Stage 1 and Stage 2 content, and builds further competency through NZQA Unit Standard 25510 – Operate an atmospheric testing device to determine a suitable atmosphere exists to work safely.

What You’ll Learn:

• Understanding confined spaces and their associated risks (US 18426)

• Planning and preparing for safe entry into confined spaces (US 17599)

• Operating gas detection equipment to conduct atmospheric tests (US 25510)

• Interpreting test results and determining whether the atmosphere is safe

• Responding appropriately to unsafe readings or abnormal results

• Permit systems, emergency procedures, and documentation

• Health and safety responsibilities under AS2865 and NZ regulations

Course Delivery:
Delivered over two days, this course includes classroom-based theory, hands-on practical training, and equipment use. You will complete confined space simulations, plan safe entry, and conduct live atmospheric testing using calibrated gas detectors.

Gain a good understanding of the operation and use of gas detectors, conduct atmospheric tests and read and respond to the results. You will learn about the hazards, permit and documentation requirements, control measures, monitoring and testing requirements, responsibilities and duties to undertake confined space work. You will be required to plan and prepare for a confined space entry and develop an effective rescue procedure.

Recommended for people who are required to enter and work in a confined space.
