Yes. Workers who enter or work in confined spaces need to be trained and competent to do so safely. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, PCBUs are responsible for ensuring this is in place, and WorkSafe New Zealand guidance sets out what that training should cover — including hazard identification, atmospheric testing, permit-to-work requirements, and emergency procedures.

A confined space is an enclosed or partially enclosed space that is not designed for continuous human occupancy, has restricted entry or exit, and may present atmospheric, engulfment, or other hazards. Common examples include tanks, silos, pits, sewers, tunnels, and ducts — but confined spaces are not limited to these. Ceiling voids, poorly ventilated rooms, and other spaces can also meet the definition depending on the conditions present.

Yes. Confined space entry equipment is available through Fortus and Safeworx, including gas detectors. Contact us to discuss your requirements or view the available product ranges online.

Yes. Fortus provides gas detector calibration services. Visit fortussafety.nz to find out more or contact us to discuss your requirements.

IMPAC recommends refreshing confined space training every two years to maintain competency and keep knowledge current. Some industries and clients may require more frequent refresher training depending on the nature of the work or organisational requirements.
