Course Dates For Confined Space Standby/Rescue Training - 3 Day Course

Once the first two days are completed, we turn our attention to breathing apparatus training and more focus on being a Permit Observer. The aim at this point is to reinforce that the person on standby ensures all permit conditions are present, correct and effective. They must also assure that a rescue plan is prepared and ready to deploy. The plan must have been rehearsed, and all workers are required to be capable of rescuing in a confined space environment with TOXIC GAS. For this reason, the breathing apparatus is necessary. This course is referred to as “cluster learning”, meaning knowledge and competency are achieved across a series of three full days.

Why three days? This is a https://sydneysafety.com.au/confined-space/what-does-competency-based-training-mean/ that requires practical skill development. The skills required can only be achieved through repetition. Three days provides time to continue to revisit these skills.

It is important to be clear on the CONFINED SPACE RESCUE unit. The two-day course involves rescue in a NON-TOXIC atmosphere. Day three escalates, and we now learn to rescue in a toxic atmosphere, at which point the breathing apparatus is introduced and we work through the complexities. Across these three days, the “cluster training” qualifies students to be competent in the UNDERTAKE CONFINED SPACE RESCUE unit. Day three is typically very popular with Sydney Water contractors who are working daily in particularly dangerous and confined real-life settings.

Upon successful completion of this course, the student is FULLY ACCREDITED to assume ANY ROLE in the confined space team. This is one of the most valuable training programmes you will ever do!

This course is compliant with the National Standard for Safe Working in a Confined Space’s core training elements. We also cover how to comply with Australian Standard AS/NZ 2865 (2009) Safe Working in a Confined Space.
