Victoria’s water and wastewater, utilities, construction, and industrial maintenance sectors regularly place workers in confined spaces, from process vessels and underground service infrastructure to plant rooms and enclosed equipment areas. Under WorkSafe Victoria requirements, anyone who enters or works in a confined space must hold nationally recognised training and operate under a documented permit-to-work system before entry.
Delivered from our Cheltenham training facility in Melbourne, Link Resources’ confined spaces course gives workers the practical skills and nationally recognised certification required to safely enter and work in confined spaces. Across one day of face-to-face training, participants complete all four units of competency while covering gas testing, atmospheric monitoring, hazard controls, permit procedures and emergency response planning. Training is aligned with Victorian WHS legislation and Australian Standard AS2865.

This confined space entry training course covers everything from initial classification and hazard assessment through to atmospheric testing, workplace safety procedures, and emergency response, with practical scenarios drawn from Melbourne’s water, utilities, and industrial sectors.
Topics covered include:
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.
If you need more advanced or specialised training, we offer a range of courses designed to support safe work in confined spaces across various industries.
Confined Space with Breathing Apparatus: For workers required to operate breathing apparatus in low-oxygen or hazardous environments. This course includes practical use of SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus) and emergency procedures.
Heights & Confined Space Rescue: Ideal for emergency response teams or standby personnel, this confined space and heights course covers rescue techniques for vertical entry, confined space extractions, and the use of safety and retrieval systems.
Need help choosing the right course? Give us a call and we’ll guide you based on your role and site requirements.
Our Cheltenham centre is equipped with dedicated confined space training areas and atmospheric monitoring equipment. Participants work through practical exercises in a controlled, safe environment using industry-standard equipment.
As a registered training organisation, the units completed in this course are nationally recognised and accepted across every Australian state and territory, giving you qualifications that stay with you wherever work takes you.
Our trainers come from construction, utilities, emergency services, resources, and infrastructure industries, so they have worked in the environments they teach about. Expect plain language, industry-relevant scenarios, and a focus on what is required when you are on site.
Every element of this course is designed to be applied on the job. From running gas tests to completing permit paperwork and executing safe entry procedures, you will leave with skills you can use immediately.
Employers who need to train a team can reserve our Melbourne facility exclusively for their group on a date that suits their schedule. Up to 8 workers, one fixed price of $2,095 for the day, no minimum numbers required. Call 07 5491 2144 to discuss.
From smaller operators to major project teams, organisations across Melbourne and Victoria choose Link Resources because our training is consistent, compliant, and built around what workers require in the field.
Link Resources has purpose-built training facilities all across Australia to meet your specific training requirements.
While the nationally recognised units do not technically expire, many employers, principal contractors, and site operators require workers to complete refresher training every two to three years to stay current with procedures, legislation, and site expectations.
Confined spaces can include tanks, pits, tunnels, silos, pipelines, stormwater drains, pump stations, vaults, and enclosed plant areas. These spaces are generally not designed for continuous occupancy and may contain hazardous atmospheres or have restricted entry and exit points.
That is completely fine. The course is designed to cover both the theory and practical use of atmospheric monitoring equipment, including how to test for hazardous gases and interpret readings before entering a confined space.
Yes. We can reserve our Cheltenham facility exclusively for your team on a date of your choosing. Dedicated confined spaces sessions accommodate up to 8 workers at a fixed day rate, with no minimum numbers required. Call 07 5491 2144 or email training@link-resources.com.au to check availability.
Confined spaces carry risks that aren’t always present in normal work areas, including toxic or flammable atmospheres, oxygen deficiency, engulfment, and limited ways to get in or out in an emergency. These hazards have to be identified and controlled before anyone enters. Read our full breakdown of confined space hazards and how to manage them for the specific controls and training requirements.
This course and all related training and assessment services are delivered by Link Resources Training Pty Ltd (RTO Provider Number 45483).
