Confined Space Entry
This one-day course is aimed at people who are required to enter confined spaces or observe confined space entry. It is also worthwhile for those that work on water, wastewater or stormwater reticulation systems, which collectively make up water reticulation services.
NZWETA is offering this popular course providing training and education for people who work in, or observe confined space environments. Participants are also given the opportunity to achieve National Qualification Framework (NQF) unit standards by way of practical assessment and verification of competency.
This course has been designed for new participants in the industry, or simply as a refresher, which we recommend should be completed every two years.

Satisfactory completion of written assessments, coupled with submission of workplace procedures, provides for formal verification of knowledge and competency to Unit Standard 20645.
The course can be offered in regional locations or for specific workplaces. All people who are required to have knowledge in chemical handling will find this course useful.
There are no pre-requisites for this course – but an interest in, or prior experience with, the storage and handling of hazardous chemicals is desirable.
Flexible Course structure
The training course is offered as a series of modules to provide general and specific information on the hazardous substances for which application has been made to become an approved handler.
