Before any work in a confined space is permitted, you must apply for a permit.

A confined space means an enclosed or partially enclosed space that:

  • is not designed or intended to be occupied by a person,
  • is at normal atmospheric pressure while a person is in the space,
  • is a risk to health and safety from either
    • an atmosphere that doesn’t have a safe oxygen level
    • contaminants like airborne gases, vapours and dusts, that may cause injury from fire or explosion
  • has harmful concentrations of any airborne contaminants, and
  • is at risk of engulfment.

The training takes you through each section of a generic Permit Form and explains how to complete it.

This course can be customised to use your organisation’s Confined Space Permit Form.
