Confined Spaces Training Brisbane

Target audience

This confined spaces course is required for workers who enter, work in, or supervise confined space activities across Brisbane and wider Queensland. That includes:

• Mining services and resources workers entering tanks, vessels and below-ground infrastructure at Queensland operations
• Civil construction workers entering stormwater systems, tunnels, underground service pits and culverts on Brisbane and regional Queensland projects
• Water and wastewater treatment operators entering chambers, pump stations and process vessels
• Utilities crews working in gas, electricity and telecommunications infrastructure below ground
• Industrial maintenance workers in manufacturing and processing facilities across South East Queensland

If your role requires you to enter or work in any space that is not designed for continuous human occupation, is at risk of atmospheric hazard, or has restricted means of entry and exit, this course provides the skills and certification required to do so safely and in line with current Queensland regulations. Many Brisbane employers book this alongsideWorking at Heights trainingfor teams working across both height and confined space tasks.

What You'll Learn

This confined space entry training course covers everything from initial classification and hazard assessment through to atmospheric testing, permit procedures, and emergency response, with practical scenarios drawn from Queensland’s civil construction, mining services, and utilities sectors.

Topics covered include:

• Applicable legislation and workplace procedures, including the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (Qld) and AS2865
• Identifying, defining, and classifying confined spaces, from underground service pits and stormwater infrastructure to industrial tanks, process vessels, and enclosed plant rooms
• Hazard identification and risk assessment for atmospheric, physical, and engulfment hazards common in Queensland civil and resources environments
• Atmospheric monitoring and gas testing, covering equipment use, readings interpretation, and alarm response protocols, including hydrogen sulphide and methane in stormwater and sewage systems
• Isolation, lockout/tagout, and ventilation procedures for civil construction and utilities infrastructure
• Permit-to-work systems and documentation in line with AS2865 and SafeWork Queensland requirements
• Entry team roles, responsibilities, and communication: authorised entrant, standby person, and entry supervisor
• Emergency procedures and rescue coordination, including non-entry rescue procedures
• Practical scenarios from mining services, civil construction, stormwater infrastructure, and utilities environments

Assessment combines written and practical components, both assessed against national competency standards. Successful completion results in nationally recognised certification required for confined space entry work.
