- In-person
- On-site
Course Overview
This combined course includes two nationally recognised units:
RIIWHS202E – Enter and Work in Confined Spaces
MSMWHS217 – Gas Test Atmospheres
It is designed for workers who need to enter and work in confined spaces and test atmospheric conditions using a gas detector, often required in high-risk industries like mining, construction, water utilities, shutdowns, and mechanical services.
Training is delivered face-to-face at our Belmont or Naval Base facility, or onsite for suitable employer groups across WA. The course covers confined space access procedures, permits, PPE, emergency protocols, and gas monitoring, ensuring participants meet site compliance requirements and WHS legislation.

- Mining and resource sector workers
- Utility and wastewater operations
- Civil construction and trenching crews
- Mechanical, electrical and HVAC teams
- Confined space standby or entry personnel
Many worksites require both units for compliance with permit-to-work systems and safe work procedures in confined environments.
Once certified, you will be able to:
- Identify and assess confined spaces
- Test atmospheres before and during entry using gas detection equipment
- Work safely within the confined space while monitoring gas levels
- Respond appropriately to alarms and atmospheric risks
- Follow rescue and emergency procedures where required
- Comply with AS 2865 – Confined Spaces and relevant WHS Codes of Practice
This training helps reduce risks associated with oxygen deficiency, toxic gases, and flammable atmospheres, while ensuring legal compliance on high-risk sites.
