You are enrolling in a Day 2 - Confined Space Standby Course
Course Start date: 21 Mar 2025
These unit of competency's covers the skills and knowledge required to undertake the safety observer role for permits requiring a safety observer. This role may also be called a hole watcher or a fire watcher.
It aims to ensure that people working under a permit to work understand the system, know the limitations of the permit under which they are working and comply with all the requirements of the permit. The people to whom this unit applies may be called 'permit recipients' or 'permit holders' by some organisations. Some organisations call 'permits' 'clearances'.
This unit of competency applies to persons who are required to conduct work activities under the authority of an issued permit to work and within the context and requirements of that permit. This typically applies to all work done by maintenance staff and contractors and also to any other non-process work performed on the plant.
Safety observers can stop permit work, but do not have the authority to restart it.
Where the person is safety observer for confined space permit they should also be competent in confined space entry.
