Course details
The Sunshine Coast’s rapid growth across construction, utilities, and industry means more workers are entering confined spaces every day, from stormwater systems and underground service pits to tanks, plant rooms and processing infrastructure. Under Queensland WHS laws, anyone working in a confined space must complete nationally recognised training and follow a documented permit system before entry.
Delivered from our Warana training facility on the Sunshine Coast, Link Resources’ confined spaces course gives workers the practical skills and nationally recognised training required to safely enter and work in confined spaces. Across one day of face-to-face training, participants complete all four units of competency while covering gas testing, atmospheric monitoring, hazard controls, permit procedures and emergency response planning. Training is aligned with Queensland WHS legislation and Australian Standard AS2865.

Target audience
This confined spaces course is required for workers who enter, work in, or supervise confined space activities across the Sunshine Coast and wider Queensland region. That includes:

Frequently Asked Questions
While the nationally recognised units do not technically expire, many employers, principal contractors, and site operators require workers to complete refresher training every two to three years to stay current with procedures, legislation, and site expectations.
Confined spaces can include tanks, pits, tunnels, silos, pipelines, stormwater drains, pump stations, vaults, and enclosed plant areas. These spaces are generally not designed for continuous occupancy and may contain hazardous atmospheres or restricted entry and exit points.
That’s completely fine. The course is designed to cover both the theory and practical use of atmospheric monitoring equipment, including how to test for hazardous gases and interpret readings before entering a confined space.
Yes. Under WHS legislation, employers and persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) must identify confined spaces, assess risks, implement control measures, and make sure workers are properly trained before entry occurs.
Confined spaces carry risks that aren’t always present in normal work areas, including toxic or flammable atmospheres, oxygen deficiency, engulfment, and limited ways to get in or out in an emergency. These hazards have to be identified and controlled before anyone enters. Read our full breakdown of confined space hazards and how to manage them for the specific controls and training requirements.
