Full course or Refresher?

WHS regulation 76 requires the following:

• That all relevant workers are provided with suitable and adequate information, training and instruction in relation to confined spaces
• Re-training or refresher training should be provided as appropriate for a particular workplace

The frequency of this training should depend on how often workers are required to carry outtasks associated with entry to or work in confined spaces. For confined spaces records of training must be kept for at least two years (WHS Regulation 76.2). 

Employers, work sites and insurers may require training to be less than two years old.

As a guide:

• If it has been around two years since your last succesfully completed training - 
  • Select the "Refresher" version of the course and provide evidence, either by upload image or in person on the day.
• If it has been more than two years since your last succesfully completed training, you may be considered out of date - 
  • Select "Full" Two day version
