Frequently asked questions

Does Confined Space training expire?

The unit itself does not expire, but most employers in mining, utilities, and industrial settings require refresher training every 2 years, often bundled with gas-testing and rescue competencies.

Is there a separate 'Work in Confined Spaces' ticket?

Yes. RIIWHS202E Enter and Work is the most common. Specialist roles may also require RIIWHS302E (Stand-by Person) or MSMWHS217 (Gas Test Atmospheres).

Can this be completed online?

No. Practical assessment — gas detection, harness and tripod use, stand-by and rescue drills — must be delivered face-to-face.
