Updated Standard - AS 2865-2009 |
|
At last, it has arrived! After weeks and months and years of hard work and debate, the Confined Spaces standard has been released.
AS2865 - 2009 Confined Spaces is now available for purchase from SAI Global. There are quite a few changes from the previous standard:
- Confined space definition updated (which may be adopted by all state authorities??)
- Standby Person - clarification of roles and options for "alternative means"
- Training modules and competency requirements described
As a member of the committee that re-wrote the standard, I may be a little biased, but the new standard is a big improvement on the previous edition.
