Course Description

The course set including units RIIWHS202E, MSMWHS201, and MSMPER300 is designed to equip individuals with the necessary skills to work safely in confined spaces, issue permits for high-risk tasks, and control workplace hazards. This training is essential for workers and supervisors in industries such as mining, construction, manufacturing, and oil and gas, where confined spaces and permit-controlled work environments present significant safety challenges.

This course set is ideal for workers, supervisors, and safety officers in industries where confined space entry, permit-controlled work, and hazard management are essential. Upon completion, participants will have the skills to safely enter and work in confined spaces, issue permits for high-risk tasks, and control hazards to maintain a safe and compliant workplace.

*Safe Work Australia notes “Working in a confined space may impose physiological and psychological demands over and above those encountered in a normal working environment. Consideration should be given to a worker’s: 

  • physical ability; 

  • ability to work in a restrictive space (for example claustrophobia) and ability to wear the PPE required to do the work (for example respirators).”
