What is a confined space and does everyone require training?
Confined space training is a mandatory requirement for people working in any confined space. As defined in the Safe Work NSW Code of Practice Confined spaces - A confined space means an enclosed or partially enclosed space that:
is not designed or intended primarily to be occupied by a person; and
is, or is designed or intended to be, at normal atmospheric pressure while any person is in the space; and
is or is likely to be a risk to health and safety from:
- an atmosphere that does not have a safe oxygen level;
- contaminants, including airborne gases, vapours and dusts, that may cause injury from a fire or explosion; harmful concentrations of any airborne contaminants; or
- engulfment.
Some common examples of confined space in the workplace are storage tanks, pressure vessels, boilers, pipes, pits, sewers and silos.
Do I require training to carry out works in a confined space?
The simple answer is YES! Here at Platinum Safety and Training, we make it easy when it comes to deciding what training you need to carry out work in a confined space. We have a range of confined space training courses to suit everyone.
