Undertake Confined Spaces Rescue Course Prerequisites
The AWCC Confined Space Rescue Program includes the use of Breathing Apparatus.

- When attending this program all participants need to be “Clean Shaven”. The Australian Standard (AS 1715) requires users to be Clean Shaven. The BA Units that AWCC utilise function best when the sealing line between head, face and jaw is “free of hair and foreign substances which could cause leakages”.
- Due to the physical nature of this program, participants need to be physically fit enough to perform all of the Practical Assessment activities. Persons who feel they will not be able to complete the physical aspects of this program should make arrangements to reschedule.
BA requirements in QLD: Workers should be clean-shaven where the respirator facepiece comes in contact with the skin before wearing their respirator. Students with non-compliant facial hair cannot meet the training requirements and therefore do not meet competency standards.
