The Industry Code of Practice for Working Safely in Confined Spaces aims to provide guidance on the safety and health of all persons who need to enter or work in confined spaces by preventing exposure to hazards that may be encountered when working in confined spaces, and thereby preventing collapse, injury, illness or death resulting from exposure to those hazards. Under this ICOP, employers must ensure that their employees involved in confined space operations have undergone a confined space safety course training approved by the Director General and passed an examination.
