Course information and target audience

The qualification consists of four units, which cover the minimum requirements for safe working practices in hazardous locations. Candidates will learn about the safety considerations that should be applied to work areas that contain potentially explosive or flammable atmospheres and the factors that are used to classify their location.

The course includes instruction on how to read hazardous area certification, labelling and documentation, and also informs candidates about the main protection concepts, categories and levels that are applied to certified Ex electrical equipment.

Target audience are personnel with an electrical or instrumentation background who are involved in the selection, installation, inspection and maintenance of electrical and instrumentation equipment for use in potentially hazardous areas. This course is also applicable for personnel from a non-Electrical or Instrumentation background who merely wish to establish an appreciation of Ex Hazardous Areas.
