“Fantastic course run by a specialist with amazing practical knowledge relating to all aspects of the asbestos removal industry. This is the first ticket within the industry I've done (done all other available tickets, with 10 years practical industry experience) that I left the course feeling as though I actually am ready to work in the industry at the highest level. Thanks again Tim Lowery @ Alertforce. Scott”

Confined space work is common across many of Queensland’s major industries, including construction, utilities, water and wastewater infrastructure, mining, energy, manufacturing and transport. Whether maintaining treatment plants, inspecting underground services, entering storage tanks or undertaking maintenance in industrial facilities, workers may be exposed to oxygen-deficient atmospheres, toxic contaminants, flammable gases and other potentially life-threatening hazards. These risks make confined space competency an essential requirement across many Brisbane workplaces.
The nationally recognised RIIWHS202E Enter and Work in Confined Spaces course provides the practical skills and knowledge required to safely enter, work in and exit confined spaces in accordance with workplace procedures and industry requirements. Participants learn how to identify hazards, assess risks, work under confined space entry permit systems, undertake atmospheric gas testing and respond appropriately in emergency situations. Understanding whether a work area is classified as a confined space and recognising the hazards that commonly contribute to confined space incidents are essential foundations for safe work.
Delivered by AlertForce, the course leads to a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment upon successful completion. Workplace Health and Safety Queensland administers Queensland’s work health and safety framework, with employers responsible for ensuring workers are trained and competent for the tasks they perform.
Course Overview
What You'll Learn
The RIIWHS202E Enter and Work in Confined Spaces course provides nationally recognised training in hazard identification, risk assessment, atmospheric monitoring and safe entry and exit procedures. Participants learn how to identify confined space hazards, apply risk controls, conduct atmospheric gas testing, communicate with standby personnel and implement emergency response procedures. The course also incorporates principles aligned with MSMPER200 Work in Accordance with an Issued Permit and MSMWHS201 Conduct Hazard Analysis, helping workers understand permit systems, hazard identification processes and risk management requirements commonly encountered across construction, infrastructure, utility and maintenance environments. Training reflects recognised industry practices, including the principles of AS/NZS 2865 Safe Working in a Confined Space.

Does the RIIWHS202E help Brisbane workers demonstrate competency for confined space work under Queensland's WHS framework?
Yes. Completing the nationally recognised RIIWHS202E Enter and Work in Confined Spaces course helps workers and employers demonstrate competency for confined space work under Queensland’s WHS framework. Employers must ensure workers are appropriately trained and competent for the work they perform, and confined space training forms an important part of meeting those obligations.
Queensland has significant mining and resources activity. Is the RIIWHS202E relevant for workers in these industries?
Yes. The course provides practical skills relevant to mining, resources, energy, processing and industrial operations where workers may be required to enter tanks, vessels, pipelines, processing equipment and other confined spaces. Participants learn how to identify hazards, assess risks and apply safe entry procedures across a range of workplace environments.
Can AlertForce deliver onsite confined space training for workplaces across Brisbane and regional Queensland?
Yes. AlertForce can deliver onsite confined space training for workplace groups across Brisbane and regional Queensland. Training can be aligned with workplace-specific procedures, hazards and operational requirements to support practical competency development in real-world environments.
My employer requires ongoing competency verification. How often should confined space competency be refreshed?
The RIIWHS202E Statement of Attainment does not have a formal expiry date under WHS legislation. However, many employers, contractors and principal contractors require workers to periodically demonstrate ongoing competency through refresher training or VOC assessments. Find out more about refresher options and competency requirements in our guide to confined space certification and refresher pathways.
