Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a Confined Space Entry ticket valid for?

Your RIIWHS202E Statement of Attainment does not have a legislated expiry date, however most employers and mine sites in Western Australia require refresher training every 2–3 years to ensure your skills and knowledge remain current. Always check your employer's specific site requirements before commencing work.

Is RIIWHS202E recognised for mining and resources work in WA?

Yes. RIIWHS202E Enter and Work in Confined Spaces is a nationally recognised unit of competency under the Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package. It is widely accepted across mining, construction, oil & gas, and infrastructure sites throughout Western Australia and the rest of Australia.

Should I do Confined Space Entry and Gas Testing together?

Many roles that involve confined space entry also require the MSMWHS217 Gas Test Atmospheres competency, as testing the atmosphere is a key part of safe confined space work. STES offers a combined one-day CSE + GTA course that covers both units at a discounted combo price, which is the most popular option for mining and industrial workers.

What do I need to bring on the day?

You should bring a valid photo ID (driver's licence or passport), appropriate clothing including long pants and closed-toe footwear, and any prescription glasses or medication you require. All safety equipment is provided by STES. Lunch and refreshments are not provided so we recommend bringing your own.
