MNMG237A WORK SAFELY at HEIGHTS


Training Course Objective

To deliver a one day course that provides the participant with specific knowledge and skills to work safely at heights. This is done by providing a comfortable learning environment with both hands on practical operations experiences and some classroom based theory. Our experienced facilitators show how working at heights can be done in a safe common sense manner.

Training Course Outcomes

The participants at the end of the one day course must be able to demonstrate competency in the following.

• Define the interactions with current OHS Legislation and Guidance Material such as the Australian Standards and Codes of Practice specifically associated with Working at Heights.
• Explain in detail the legislative framework.
• Describe the Risk Management Process and the contemporary approach to identifying hazards, assessing risk, controlling risk and reviewing methods of control.
• Identify fall hazards in the workplace, specifically dealing with construction work.
• Demonstrate the correct selection, use and maintenance of fall arrest devices.
• Demonstrate effectively the difference between a fall arrest system and a travel restraint system and the advantages of both.
• Participate in developing a safe work method statement for working at heights in the construction industry.
• Participate in a Working at Heights Risk Assessment and develop control measures based on the outcomes of the findings.

Confined Space Training

The Confined Space Entry training equips authorised employees with the knowledge and skills to safely enter and operate in confined spaces, avoiding exposure to hazardous substances, flammable or explosive conditions or other safety or health issues.

Nationally Accredited:

• MSAPMPER205B - Enter Confined Space (Previous Unit of Competency code: PMAPER205B)
• MSAPMPER200B Work in accordance with an issued Permit (Previous Unit of Competency code: PMAPER200C)

Target Audience:
Employees that may need to work in a confined space or supervisors of employees who work in confined spaces. Also those that maintain confined space equipment


Duration: 2 Days

Prerequisite:
Though there are no qualification prerequistes, participants must be physically able to enter confined spaces.

Course Overview:
This nationally accredited course is to provide employees with the necessary training to enter and work in a confined space. This unit covers the control of entry to confined spaces, for maintenance, servicing of vessels of other necessary reasons. To fully understand and manage the risks associated with confined space, it is important for people to learn and test themselves under real-life conditions. Using our fully-equipped training arena, trainees can experience the realities of accessing and working in enclosed spaces, and even participate in mock emergency scenarios and rescues under real life conditions.



Course Objectives:

• To ensure competency for participants to perform activities relevant to their entry and work associated with confined spaces
• Provide for the health and safety of all persons who need to enter or work in confined spaces by preventing exposure to hazards that may otherwise be experienced when working in a confined space, and thereby prevent collapse, injury, illness or death arising from exposure to those hazards
• The training includes the following:
  - The hazards of confined space
  - Risk assessment procedures
  - Risk control measures
  - Emergency procedures
  - The selection, use and maintenance of safety equipment
  - Legislative requirements
  - Entry Permits
  - Practical scenarios entering a confined space

Refresher Training

A refresher of your Confined Space Entry Training is required every 2 years. As a result, DTE also offers a Refresher Training option, which is a high level summary of what is taught in the full training session.

Duration: 1 Day

Location: For smaller groups, public courses are available at DTE upon request

Prerequisite: Must hold nationally accredited qualification current within 2 years
