Confined Space Safety Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply relevant legislation and regulations governing confined space entry and work.
• Analyze potential hazards and risks associated with confined spaces and implement control measures.
• Demonstrate the correct use of gas detection equipment and interpret atmospheric monitoring results.
• Implement safe entry procedures, including permits, isolation, and communication protocols.
• Evaluate emergency response plans and execute rescue procedures in simulated confined space scenarios.
• Design a confined space entry plan for a specific workplace scenario, incorporating all safety requirements.

Target Audience

This course is designed for workers, supervisors, and safety officers who may be required to enter, monitor, or manage confined spaces in various industries such as mining, construction, manufacturing, and utilities.

Prerequisites

None — open enrollment

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals are essential for learners to apply theoretical knowledge in realistic confined space scenarios. They provide hands-on experience with gas detection, ventilation, rescue equipment, and permit-to-work procedures, ensuring competence and confidence in managing confined space operations safely.

Practical Activities

• Gas Detection and Monitoring — Learners practice using multi-gas detectors to monitor oxygen, flammable, and toxic gases in a simulated confined space, interpreting readings and responding to alarms. (4h)
• Permit-to-Work and Entry Simulation — Learners participate in a simulated confined space entry, completing a permit-to-work, performing pre-entry checks, and following safe entry procedures under supervision. (4h)
• Non-Entry Rescue Operations — Learners practice using retrieval systems such as tripods, winches, and harnesses to perform a non-entry rescue of a simulated casualty from a confined space. (4h)
• Emergency Response and First Aid — Learners engage in a simulated emergency scenario requiring activation of the emergency plan, rescue, and first aid including CPR, within a confined space context. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
