This course is designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to work as a member of an Emergency Response Team and to conduct rescues from confined spaces. Suitable for both new and experienced workers across industries including mining, construction, oil and gas, and utilities, the program caters to roles ranging from team members to team leaders with varying levels of responsibility.
For workers in Western Australia, this confined space training Perth WA course meets all relevant training requirements and aligns with the Safe Work Australia code of practice for confined spaces. Whether your team needs to work in confined spaces safely, identify confined space hazards, or lead rescue operations, this confined space course equips participants with a thorough understanding of the skills, knowledge, and procedures essential to stay safe and respond effectively in an emergency.
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 — across industries such as mining, construction, and resources throughout Australia.
A confined space is determined by the hazards associated with a set of specific circumstances and not simply because 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.
Understanding atmospheric hazards, confined space entry procedures, and how to identify confined space hazards is essential for any worker required to work in confined spaces or respond to incidents within them. All confined space work must be conducted in accordance with relevant safety legislation and the Safe Work Australia code for confined spaces, which governs the use of issued permits, atmospheric testing procedures, and safe work practices on site.
UNITS OF COMPETENCY
This confined space course is comprised of three units of competency, delivered and assessed in sequence to satisfy pre-requisite requirements.
PUASAR022 Participate in a rescue operation.
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to participate in rescue operations as a member of a rescue team; it underpins specialist rescue operations. This training covers a wide range of rescue and environmental situations which may incorporate industrial, rural, bush, and extreme environmental conditions — including work in confined spaces such as tanks, vessels, pits, and tunnels across construction, mining, and industrial sites.
Typically, participants performing these roles have completed induction or recruitment training and are commencing work as a member of an operational team. It is applicable to personnel from the emergency services, volunteer organisations, and associated industries where the ability to safely work in confined space rescue scenarios is required.
- Prepare and respond to rescue.
- Contribute to a risk assessment at the scene.
- Perform rescue.
- Conclude rescue operations.
PUASAR025 Undertake confined space rescue
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to undertake rescues in confined spaces as a member of a single organisation or a team involving multiple organisations. The unit applies to a range of confined space rescue situations and covers critical procedures including confined space entry, atmospheric testing, gas testing using a gas detector, breathing apparatus use, standby person responsibilities, rescue equipment deployment, and working in accordance with an issued permit.
Participants gain a thorough understanding of the atmospheric hazards present in confined spaces — including how to test atmospheres and respond appropriately when hazardous conditions are detected. This knowledge is essential for anyone working in confined spaces or supporting confined space work on site.
- Prepare for confined space rescue operation.
- Assess and manage confined space rescue.
- Determine location and condition of casualties.
- Gain entry to confined space.
- Remove casualties.
- Conclude rescue operations.
RIIERR301E Respond to work site incidents
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to respond to work site incidents and establish forward control points in the resources and infrastructure industries. It applies to workers in operational roles across mining, construction, and resources sites who generally work in teams and carry some responsibility for the safety outcomes of others.
- Plan and prepare for incident response.
- Respond to incident.
- Prepare forward control point.
Upon successful completion of all units, participants will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to respond to work site incidents, perform confined space rescues, and participate effectively as part of a rescue team — helping workers to stay safe in a range of emergency situations across Australia.

Mode of Delivery
The Undertake Confined Space Rescue Training is delivered through a combination of theoretical and practical components, led by experienced and qualified trainers who maintain current industry knowledge in fire, emergency response, and rescue operations.
The theory component covers key topics including the identification and classification of confined spaces, atmospheric hazards, issued permits and permit procedures, confined space entry, gas testing, atmospheric testing, gas detector operation, breathing apparatus use, standby person roles, and rescue equipment — all in accordance with the Safe Work Australia code of practice and relevant workplace health and safety legislation. Participants develop a thorough understanding of the risk factors associated with confined spaces and the procedures required to work in confined spaces safely.
The course is delivered through a combination of structured learning methods, including:
Face-to-face practical training exercises
- Self-paced online learning modules
- Workplace-based training conducted in real or simulated work environments
- Blended learning activities, such as workplace simulations and digital assessments integrated with practical demonstrations
This blended approach ensures participants develop both the theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical skills required to demonstrate competency in emergency response and rescue operations. Participants will practice confined space rescue techniques, deploy rescue equipment, test atmospheres, and apply safety procedures in simulated confined space environments — including tanks and other representative confined spaces used during the practical component on site.
This approach allows for flexibility while ensuring participants develop the skills and knowledge required to safely work in confined space rescue roles across a range of site types, workplace settings, and industries.
Assessment Methods
Assessment is conducted by qualified assessors using a combination of tools and methods, in accordance with the principles of assessment (fairness, flexibility, validity, reliability) and the rules of evidence (valid, sufficient, current, authentic). Participants will be assessed as either Competent or Not Yet Competent based on their performance against unit requirements.
Assessment methods may include:
- Direct observation of practical skills and tasks during training exercises
- Verbal questioning to assess underpinning knowledge
