HAZARDOUS AREA MAINTENANCE & INSTALLATION

This training course is intended for electrical workers, technicians and engineers involved with installing and maintaining electrical equipment in hazardous areas.

The objective of training is to provide existing licensed electricians with the skills and knowledge to install, attend to breakdowns, maintain, test and conduct visual and detailed inspections in hazardous areas and installations relating to gas and dust atmospheres and pressurisation.

Full Course: Five (5) Days
Refresher Course: Three (3) Days

• Understand and follow safe work practices for hazardous areas
• Knowledge and understanding of combustible substances
• Fundamentals of hazardous area classification
• Understand and recognise electrical explosion protection techniques
• Understand and recognise equipment marking and associated certification requirements
• Understand the purpose of the hazardous areas verification dossier
• Perform cable glanding including resin and compound glands
• Conduct installation, testing and maintenance of electrical equipment in hazardous areas
• Conduct visual and detailed inspections
• Apply practical skills in alignment with the requirements of the relevant AS/NZ Standards
• Accurately record and maintain information relating to elevating work platform operations

In order to enrol in the full Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas (EEHA), you MUST hold a current electrical mechanic or electrical mechanic fitter’s licence.

Engineers who do not hold an electrical licence will receive a “Statement of Attainment” for reporting on the integrity of explosion-protected equipment in a hazardous area. A ‘Statement of Completion’ will be issued for the remainder of the course.

Engineers who complete the Certificate IV in Hazardous areas – Electrical upgrade course will also be eligible for a number of more generic supervisory related competencies.
