Confined Space Awareness

Awareness of confined space risk: recognising the space, atmospheric hazards, entry permit controls, and the standby and rescue arrangements.

What this course does not do

This is awareness training. It does not authorise you to enter a confined space, act as a standby person, conduct atmospheric testing, issue a confined space entry permit, or attempt a rescue. That competence is proven by practical assessment with the actual equipment, and in many jurisdictions by an external credential. No online quiz can grant it.
