Course Information
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.
Applies toRecommended for those involved in confined space work who are also responsible for atmospheric testing, including supervisors, safety observers, and entrants who carry or use gas detection equipment. This course is suitable for those working in construction, infrastructure, water treatment, energy, and industrial maintenance.
