Confined Space Entry Requirements for the Land Development Industry  
​South East Water.

All accredited contractor companies, who connect to SEW assets must ensure their Key Personnel (Construction Supervisors) hold current CSE training, followed by annual refresher training.
​

The revised CSE training now required comprises of the following competency units:
     - Enter and Work in Confined Spaces (RIIWHS202D)
     - Provide CPR (HLTAID001)
     - Work in Accordance with an Issued Permit (MSMPER200)
     - Operate Breathing Apparatus (MSMWHS216)
​     - Undertake Confined Space Rescue - (PUASAR025)

Our standard Confined Space Entry course gives you two of the competency units that SEW require – RIIWHS202D (Enter and Work in Confined Space) and HLTAID001 (Provide CPR).
 
Our refresher and induction courses cover the topic of ‘Work in Accordance with an Issued Permit’, but to be compliant with SEW requirements you will need the competency unit code MSMPER200.   We can have this unit added to your card and have the RTO with which we have a commercial agreement with issue a Statement of Attainment.  Please advise us at the time of booking if this is required, as a short multiple-choice test will need to be undertaken and an additional $50 fee is charged to cover RTO/administration costs ie. $385 + $50 for the 2-day CSE Induction course, and $185 + $50 for the 1-day CSE refresher course.  This is a one-off requirement.  Once these units of competencies have been achieved, the participant only has to maintain yearly refreshers for South East Water compliance, ie $185 per person. 
 
SEW have given until 31st March 2020 to have all contractors to complete all five competency units.  For our current clients, we suggest when you book your employees in for refresher training, let us know that they also need MSMPER200, as mentioned above, and they will then be compliant for three of the units.
 
South East Water also need contractors to complete confined space rescue training.  We offer this as a separate 1-day course which gives you the ‘Operate Breathing Apparatus’ (MSMWHS216) unit of competency and ‘Undertake Confined Space Rescue' (PUASAR025) unit of competency.  This is $320 per person.  Please see our Schedule page for dates.  We can also put this course on for you if you have a minimum of 5 people to attend.  These two units also need to be refreshed annually.  The refresher course is $185 per person.
