RIIWHS202E

Enter and work in confined spaces

Description

Candidates will be empowered by this course and be equipped with skills and knowledge to undertake many facets of work involving confined spaces.

As a result of this program, candidates will be able to:

  • access, interpret and apply technical and safety information for entering and working in confined spaces
  • assess hazards and risk associated with entering and working in confined spaces and implementing controls
  • select, inspect, donn, doff and caring for PPE
  • identify the most appropriate safety systems for entering and conduct work in confined spaces
  • perform a simulated safe entry into a confined space

Purpose

The purpose of this unit of competency is to alert maintenance workers, construction workers or those in the maritime industry of the dangers of woring in on or near a confined space and where the worker;

  • is likely to enter a confined space
  • is intending to enter a confined space
  • inadvertently enters a confined space
  • is operating as a standby for entry persons

Duration

The program is delivered over approximately 8 hours and is comprised of theory and practical sessions. The program culminates with a practical assessment activity and theory assessment.

Entry requirements

There is No minimum standard set as a prerequisite to entry this course. However, foundation skills are required (reading, writing, oral communication, numeracy and learning.).

This course requires the participant to comprehend and complete MIWTs learning materials, i.e. MIWTs confined space risk assessment, confined space entry permit, Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) and the oral/written knowledge assessment.

Language, literacy and numeracy requirements

Persons who take part in this refresher program require sufficient literacy and numeracy skills to read, comprehend and complete MIWTs learning materials, i.e. MIWTs confined space risk assessment, confined space entry permit, Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) and the oral / written knowledge assessment.

Assessment requirement

Candidates must succefully complete all assessment activties in order to be assessed as competent.

The assessment for CSE course is to be conducted using a combination of written theoretical assessment and practical assessment during simulated workbased scenarios. The following assessment methods are to be applied to collect the required assessment evidence in accordance with training package requirements.

Performance Assessment
The candidate will be required to demonstrate their practical skills integrated with their knowledge during practical assessment activities. These activities are sourced from varying equipment inspection, pre operational site checks, equipment donning and doffing, lock out tag out procedures, entering, exiting simulated confined spaces and reporting findings. Trainers will regularly challenge test candidates throughout the course on varying equipment and mark their practical checklist accordingly.

All candidates are required to take part in a practical scenario to complete the course. While this is a group-based activity it allows all candidates to show competence to undertake the activity with a holistic approach understanding all the varying roles and responsibilities.

Written Theory Assessment
The candidate will be required to satisfactorily complete a theory assessment comprising 27 short-answer questions. These will be marked on the spot in order to provide the candidate with immediate feedback and to allow them to identify areas for further development.

Qualification

This unit of competence has been drawn from the nationally endorsed industry training package RII_R1.0 Resources and Infrastructure Industry. On successfully completing the training and assessment, a Statement of Attainment (SoA) for the unit RIIWHS202D Enter and work in confined spaces will be issued. The unit of competency is nationally recognised and provides individuals with a valuable qualification that can be applied throughout Australia.

Delivery mode

The course will be delivered using different modes of delivery involving classroom based instruction and practical skills development sessions. Training will be coordinated from MIWT head office and delivered in a simulated work environment or at the MIWT training facility Warehouse 21 located at 57 Albert Road Moonah Tasmania.

Candidates will participate in facilitated learning sessions using PowerPoint presentations, handouts and discussion. During practical skills development sessions, candidates will be asked to work in pairs and facilitated through a range of practical skills to enter and work in a simulated confined space. Candidates will learn skills through practical instruction using demonstrated performance methods such as: Demonstration, explanation.
