Confined space work is undertaken every day across Sydney’s construction, civil infrastructure, utilities, wastewater, telecommunications, manufacturing and government facilities sectors. Whether maintaining underground services, inspecting sewerage infrastructure, entering plant rooms or performing maintenance within tanks and vessels, workers can be exposed to serious hazards including oxygen-deficient atmospheres, toxic contaminants, flammable gases and restricted access during emergencies. These risks make confined space competency an essential requirement across many NSW 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 lead 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. SafeWork NSW administers the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (NSW), with employers responsible for ensuring workers are trained and competent for the tasks they perform.
Course Overview
What You'll Learn

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 Sydney workers demonstrate competency for confined space work under New South Wales' 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 New South Wales’ 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 I complete the confined space VOC refresher online and will my employer or SafeWork NSW accept it?
Online VOC options may be accepted by some employers and worksites where workers already hold the relevant unit of competency and need to demonstrate ongoing competency. Acceptance varies between employers, contractors and sites, so workers should confirm specific requirements before enrolling. Find out more about refresher options and competency requirements in our guide to confined space certification and refresher pathways.
