This course is designed to provide personnel with the skills and knowledge required to work as a member of an Emergency Response Team and to conduct rescues from confined spaces. It is suitable for both new and experienced workers in a range of positions, from team members to team leaders, with varying levels of responsibility.

Common occupations that require this training include Emergency Response Team Members, Emergency Response Team Leaders, Operations Team Members, Crane Operators, Inspectors, Apprentices, Maintenance Team Members, Team Leaders, Leading Hands, and Foremen.

A confirmed space is determined by the hazards associated with a set of specific circumstances and not just because the work is performed in a small place.  A confined space means an enclosed or partially enclosed space that:

is not designed or intended primarily to be occupied by a person, and
is, or is designed or intended to be, at normal atmospheric pressure while any person is in the space, and
is or is likely to be a risk to health and safety from:
- an atmosphere that does not have a safe oxygen level, or
- contaminants, including airborne gases, vapours, and dusts, that may cause injury from fire or explosion, or harmful concentrations of any airborne contaminants, or engulfment.

This course is comprised of three units of competency, which are delivered and assessed in sequence to satisfy pre-requisite requirements.

PUASAR022 Participate in a rescue operation.

This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to participate in rescue operations as a member of a rescue team; it underpins specialist rescue operations. This includes a wide range of rescue and environmental situations which may incorporate industrial, rural, bush and extreme environmental conditions.
