RIIWHS202E Working in Confined Spaces Training Toowoomba

What is working in confined spaces?

What is a confined space? 

• A confined space is any enclosed or partially enclosed space, that is not intended or designed primarily as a place of work.
• Therefore the space may have, but need not to have, a restricted means of entry and exit.

A confined space has one of these dangers:

• A dangerous level of oxygen
• Something in it (a gas) that could cause an explosion or fire
• Contaminants (gasses, vapour, or dust) or
• Something that could engulf you and make it hard for you to breathe.
