From wastewater treatment facilities and sewerage networks to agricultural storage infrastructure and heritage building maintenance projects, confined space work is undertaken across a wide range of Tasmanian industries. These environments can expose workers to serious hazards including oxygen-deficient atmospheres, toxic contaminants, flammable gases, engulfment risks and restricted access during emergencies. Without appropriate planning, supervision and training, confined space incidents can have fatal consequences.
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 risks commonly associated with confined space entry are essential foundations for safe work.
Delivered by AlertForce, the course leads to a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment upon successful completion. WorkSafe Tasmania is the state’s workplace health and safety regulator and requires employers to ensure workers are trained and competent for the tasks they perform.
Course Overview
What You'll Learn

Who Needs This Training?
Confined Space Workers
Anyone required to enter or work in confined spaces such as tanks, pits, shafts, vessels, silos and pipelines.
Construction & Civil Workers
Workers involved in infrastructure, excavation, utility upgrades and heritage restoration projects where confined space entry may be required. Many employers seek workers who hold both confined space and working at heights qualifications to support a broader range of site activities.
Maintenance & Industrial Personnel
Workers performing inspections, cleaning, repairs and maintenance in enclosed or restricted environments.
Supervisors & Safety Officers
Personnel responsible for overseeing confined space permits, contractor activities, risk controls and emergency arrangements.
TAS Requirement
Under Tasmania’s Work Health and Safety legislation, employers must ensure workers undertaking confined space work are appropriately trained and competent. Completing nationally recognised confined space training helps workers identify hazards, apply effective controls and follow the procedures needed to manage high-risk environments safely. Across Tasmania’s utilities, wastewater, construction and agricultural sectors, employers recognise the role that effective confined space training plays in reducing the likelihood of serious incidents.

“Did a CPR refresher. Reminded me of the things I'd missed or forgotten about. Got it done and got out. Highly recommend. Of the 10 or so of these I've done, this is the first that actually felt like a useful refresher and not just trying to stay awake to check the boxes.”
“The AlertForce course for Enter and Work in Confined Spaces was very comprehensive and informative. John is a very experienced worker and instructor, which enhanced the training experience for all of the class, he answered all our questions from both the health and safety, and legal perspective, and would also use his own real-world experiences to demonstrate the answers. Thank you AlertForce Team and John, I'll recommend your courses to anybody who's looking for training.”

“Great training RTO for white card”
“Had my white card training today and it was an excellent experience all round. Being the only female in the group I was nervous at first, but everyone was so friendly (I don't think I touched a door once today lol) and welcoming. The instructor (shout out to Craig) was really interesting and friendly and made the course really engaging, time flew by! I 100% recommend these guys and will be going back soon to complete my working at heights certification.”
“Helped with learning new skills and techniques and learning stuff to go out to the force into the traffic control area”
“I was very nervous about doing my forklift training but Craig our instructor made me feel comfortable and confident. I highly recommend Alert Force for training. If you do your forklift training I hope you get Craig he is great to work with!”
“Fantastic, open and friendly atmosphere. Craig Hindle was knowledgeable and approachable. 10/10 Forklift Training, couldn't recommend better.”
“My instructor Craig Hindle is the best. He is very professional and high skilled on his expertise especially teaching on how to drive a forklift. I am very grateful that he is my instruction. If you want to get your forklift licence, I highly recommended tp enrol at Alertforce”
“Great experience completing my forklift course with Alert Force. The training was clear and practical. Instructor John Sanderson was very professional, patient, and easy to learn from. Highly recommend”

“Kevin was really approachable and had a great sense of humour which provided a relaxed environment to learn in. I appreciated how he kept everyone engaged. Kevin was really good at applying theory into practice and allowing us to share our own WHS / HSR experiences so we could learn from each other. A big thank you to Kevin.”
“Did my Whitecard, Asbestos, Silica, and Working at Heights. All classes were informative, and succinct. The instructors were great, especially John, who did my working safely at heights.”
“Excellent course, I'm saying this because unless like most courses that are just plain boring. This course was run By Matt who I think is a great educator, he explains information in a way that's not just educational but also relevant to today's work practices, his insight and depth of knowledge shows his years on both subjects like asbestos and silica and how dangerous both can be, I'm now armed with the knowledge of how to treat these hazards and also how to prevent a problem that can be eliminated, I definitely recommend this course for anybody who wants to learn about asbestos and silica.”
“Just completed my forklift course with Craig, highly recommend”
“I'm really satisfied with the way the class was lead simple and easy to remember for the questions on the theory test. I'm really grateful that I'm given another chance to do train and do the practical test again which I didn't pass on the first time. So that I'm prepared to use the forklift without making mistakes when I do get my licence as well as work using the forklift.”

Does the RIIWHS202E help Hobart workers demonstrate competency for confined space work under Tasmania'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 Tasmania’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.
Can AlertForce deliver onsite confined space training for workplaces across Hobart and regional Tasmania?
Yes. AlertForce can deliver onsite confined space training for workplace groups across Hobart and regional Tasmania. Training can be aligned with workplace-specific procedures, hazards and operational requirements to support practical competency development in real-world environments.
Is confined space training relevant for Tasmania's utilities, manufacturing and infrastructure sectors?
Yes. Workers across utilities, water and wastewater infrastructure, manufacturing, maintenance and industrial operations may be required to enter tanks, vessels, pipelines, pits and other confined spaces. The course provides practical skills that can be applied across a wide range of Tasmanian workplaces.
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.
