This one-day, 8 hours per day, face-to-face course combines theory and practical training, delivered by experienced trainers with current industry knowledge.
Theory training and assessment – covers the key knowledge areas required for confined space work. Students will learn to identify, assess, and control hazards, conduct local risk control and hazard analysis, perform gas testing and interpret atmospheric conditions, issue, monitor, and control work permits, and understand confined space safety procedures, regulations, and industry best practices.
Practical training with demonstration and assessment – hands-on component provides students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge in realistic confined space scenarios. Students will practice entering, working in, and exiting confined spaces safely, operate gas detection equipment and interpret results, apply hazard control measures and follow permit procedures, demonstrate safe work practices under simulated confined space conditions, and perform practical tasks under supervision to demonstrate their competency.
The course uses a blended learning approach, including face-to-face exercises, workplace simulations, and integrated knowledge assessments, ensuring students gain the competency, confidence, and safety awareness needed to operate safely in confined spaces.
Assessment is conducted by qualified assessors using a combination of tools and methods, in accordance with the principles of assessment (fairness, flexibility, validity, reliability) and the rules of evidence (valid, sufficient, current, authentic). Students will be assessed as either Competent or Not Yet Competent based on their performance against the unit requirements. Assessment methods may include:
Direct observation of practical skills
Verbal questioning to assess underpinning knowledge
Written responses to theory-based questions
Portfolio evidence, including completed workplace documents or work samples
A combination of the above methods
If you are assessed as Not Yet Competent (NYC), you will have the opportunity to be reassessed. You may contact Host Safety and Training (RTO 40772) to arrange your reassessment. A reassessment fee may apply.
Reassessment will focus only on the part of the assessment that was not successfully completed.
Reassessment must be completed within 60 days of the original assessment.
If the 60-day period lapses, the full assessment may need to be repeated.

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to operate a forklift truck safely in accordance with all relevant legislative requirements. Competence in this unit, does not in itself result in a HRWL licence to operate this plant.
Forklift truck means a powered industrial truck equipped with lifting media made up of a mast and an elevating load carriage to which is attached a pair of fork arms or other attachments that can be raised 900 mm or more above the ground, but does not include a pedestrian-operated truck or a pallet truck.
A person performing this work is required to hold a forklift truck High Risk Work Licence (HRWL).
This unit requires a person operating a forklift truck to:
Asbestos-related diseases have killed thousands of Australians with Australia and the UK having the highest rates of asbestos-related death in the world! Asbestos is highly toxic, causing a range of lung diseases that are slow to develop but in many cases deadly. While its use is now completely prohibited, there is a growing need to safely dispose of asbestos and asbestos-containing material (ACM).
This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to work within the command, control and coordination structure of an Emergency Control Organisation (ECO). An ECO’s priority is the safety of facility occupants and visitors during an emergency which means ECO members are responsible for pre-emergency, emergency and post-emergency actions. It includes undertaking pre-emergency planning, taking appropriate actions in an emergency and assisting with post-emergency activities.
This combined course teaches participants the roles and responsibilities of both the Fire Warden and Chief Warden, as they relate to emergencies in the workplace.
This nationally recognised training provides students with the skills and knowledge required to identify confined space hazards, enter a confined space and work safely in accordance with an issued permit, and operate various confined space safety equipment.
