Enter and Work in Confined Space Course
RIIWHS202D Enter and work in confined spaces
Confined spaces are commonly found in tanks, ducts, flues, chimneys, containers or other similar enclosed or partially enclosed structures. They pose dangers because they are usually not designed to be areas where people work.
