Confined Space Training Course in Sunshine Coast

Working in a confined space is probably more dangerous than workers think as there are many more hazards than just the obvious one of getting trapped. Other hazards in small spaces include falls (in shafts), entanglements and asphyxiation from toxic gasses. It’s clear how important all aspects of safety training are, especially when confined spaces can be required in almost any industry. Link Resources offer this course in the Sunshine Coast and as an official RTO (Registered Training Organisation), students will receive the highest level of training by the most experienced teachers available.

Why You Need Safety Training for Heights

Minimising the risks when working in tight, confined spaces is essential. Workers need to be aware of the risks before entering and be fully prepared every time. Confined spaces are defined as any space that has restricted entry methods by way of size, location or method (such as automatic lockable doors). Confined spaces aren’t all tunnels and vents, they are spaces that have very restricted access too.

These spaces where access is difficult, restricted or limited obviously mean that other regular hazards pose more of a threat since escape isn’t so easy.

Risks of fire, explosion, loss of consciousness, asphyxiation and drowning are all real dangers that workers need to be aware of when working in confined spaces. Environments like mines, factory or farm silos and vats, sewers, large trucks, industrial machinery and manholes could all present dangers. Our course will teach all workers on how to identify and best prepare for these issues in the workplace.
