Undertake Confined Space Rescue

• Understanding confined space hazards and rescue principles
• Preparing for confined space rescue operations
• Performing rescue drills and live scenarios
• Using breathing apparatus and rescue equipment
• Applying workplace procedures and emergency protocols
• Post-rescue procedures including debriefing and reporting

This course is delivered through a blend of:

• Facilitator-led classroom sessions to cover confined space rescue theory, safety procedures, and emergency response planning.

• Hands-on practical training in controlled confined space environments to practice rescue techniques and the use of breathing apparatus.

• Scenario-based exercises simulating real emergency situations and team coordination under pressure.

• Performance-based assessments to confirm competence in safely executing confined space rescues.

The ERGT Australia 2-day Undertake Confined Space Rescue course is designed for emergency response team members in the Oil and Gas, Resources, and Maritime Industries who may be required to carry out rescues in confined spaces.

Due to the high-risk nature of confined space rescue, prior training in Enter Confined Space (MSMPER205 Enter confined space) and Operate Breathing Apparatus (MSMWHS216 Operate breathing apparatus) is essential to safely undertake and successfully complete this course.  Learners should be able to meet physical requirements, including working in full PPE, confined spaces, and using breathing apparatus. 

If you do not meet the recommended skills, contact ERGT to confirm whether the course is suitable for you.

ERGT recognises that confined space rescue training places significant physical, cognitive and psychological demands on learners. Support strategies are embedded throughout delivery to ensure learner safety, confidence and readiness while maintaining the integrity of assessment requirements.
Learners must have basic Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital (LLND) skills to understand safety procedures and complete assessments. Learners must be able to access and navigate a digital device to log in and access the course materials. Support for learners is available on request. More information is available on our website.
