Identify Confined Space

(DEFWHS010)

A confined space is an enclosed or partially enclosed space that is not intended or designed primarily for human occupancy, and within which there are risks. Identify Confined Space (DEFWHS010) covers the skills required to identify actual or potential confined spaces prior to entering a confined space for work purposes.

The unit includes recognising actual and potential confined spaces in the work environment and understanding the broad limitations they impose on work practices. It also covers identifying potential work health and safety (WHS) concerns and seeking further advice and/or applying appropriate procedures when dealing with WHS issues.

DEFWHS010 is a nationally recognised unit under the Australian Maritime College (RTO ID 60131) and the training outcomes are listed on www.training.gov.au.

The course is applicable to anyone who is required to identify actual or potential confined spaces prior to entering a confined space for work purposes, such as surveyors, maintenance managers, plumbers, designers or electrical contractors.
