Course Overview

Pinnacle Safety and Training train more people in heights and confined space than any other provider in Australia.

This course combines both Work Safely at Heights with Confined Space Entry training to meet the specific needs of employers, industries and workers in Australia.

This is an initial training course in these disciplines and is suitable for both workers without prior experience, or workers who have completed this training many times before. Because of the online learning components, we recommend this course to those participants with strong computer literacy skills. If you’re not the best with computers - no problem! We also offer each of these courses in a 100% face-to-face format. For the 100% face-to-face Work Safely at Heights course, click here. For the 100% face-to-face Confined Space course, click here.

What is a Confined Space?

According to the Safe Work Australia Code of Practice, a “confined space” means an enclosed or partially enclosed space that:

  • is not designed or intended primarily to be occupied by a person; and
  • is, or is designed or intended to be, at normal atmospheric pressure while any person is in the space; and
  • is or is likely to be a risk to health and safety from:
    • an atmosphere that does not have a safe oxygen level, or
    • contaminants, including airborne gases, vapours and dusts, that may cause injury from fire or explosion, or
    • harmful concentrations of any airborne contaminants, or
    • engulfment.

This course is recommended for:

​Workers who will be performing heights or confined space work, but are not required to issue a permit, gas test atmospheres, or wear breaking apparatus.

  • Electrical engineers
  • Safety inspectors
  • Safety personnel
  • Injury prevention personnel
  • Maintenance personnel
  • Emergency services personnel (fire, ambulance, police)
  • WHS officers
  • Risk managers
  • Mine managers
  • Telecommunications and cable installation personnel
  • Lift operators and installers
  • Transport industry workers

For supervisors of work at height or anyone needing to develop rescue plans, please consider undertaking Working at Heights - 2 day training. Remember: having a tested, effective rescue plan for all work at heights where a fall is possible is the law!

Likewise, for more advanced confined space training, including issuing permits, gas testing atmospheres, or planning and supervising confined space operations, see our Confined Space - 2 day course. This advanced training is for anyone who may be required to control the works in the space via permit issuing or otherwise supervise confined space operations.
