Course Description

The course set including units RIIWHS202E and RIIWHS204E is designed to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge required to safely work in confined spaces and at heights. This training is essential for those working in industries such as construction, mining, manufacturing, and maintenance, where both confined spaces and elevated work areas present significant risks.

This course set is ideal for workers in industries where both confined spaces and working at heights are common, such as mining, construction, and maintenance. Upon completion, participants will have the necessary skills to safely perform tasks in confined spaces and at heights, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and creating a safer work environment for all.

Writing is required to the level of completing workplace forms and producing any required reports. Numeracy is required to the level of being able to correctly differentiate between high and low pressures and temperatures, voltages or masses and interpret gas test/monitoring results. 

*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).”
