Confined & Enclosed Space Awareness

This Confined & Enclosed Space Awareness eLearning course delivers essential awareness training on the hazards associated with confined and enclosed spaces and what workers need to know to stay safe. The course explains how to recognise confined and enclosed spaces, the risks they present — including limited access, hazardous atmospheres, and restricted ventilation — and the importance of appropriate precautions. It also introduces basic control measures, legal duties and safe working behaviour so learners can contribute to safer working environments.

  • Raise understanding of confined and enclosed spaces, including typical examples and why they can be dangerous.
  • Explain key hazards and risks associated with these environments, such as asphyxiation, toxic atmospheres, entrapment and restricted access.
  • Clarify legal responsibilities and duties under applicable health and safety legislation for employers and employees.
  • Introduce safe working principles, risk assessment basics and control measures to help reduce the likelihood of incidents.
  • Promote awareness of emergency procedures and response expectations should a hazardous situation occur.
