Hazardous Area Training – Refresher

Hazardous Area Refresher Training Course

Course Overview

The EEHA Refresher course is designed for workers who have already completed hazardous area training and are actively working in hazardous environments. Rather than re-teaching the fundamentals, this course focuses on re-assessing existing competence to confirm that participants have maintained the skills and knowledge required under AS/NZS 4761.

Alongside the reassessment, the program also provides training updates on changes to standards and emerging industry developments, ensuring participants remain current with best practice and compliance requirements.

Through a combination of targeted theory reviews and practical re-assessments, participants demonstrate their ability to safely inspect, install, maintain, and troubleshoot electrical equipment in areas where explosive atmospheres may be present.

Using our purpose-built training systems and portable onsite training boards, learners are assessed on functional hazardous area equipment, allowing them to prove continued competence while also keeping pace with the latest industry expectations.

• Underground Coal Mining – Learn the specific requirements for hazardous areas in underground coal operations, including Group I equipment and ignition risk controls.

• Gas and Vapours – Interpret classification drawings, select appropriate equipment, and apply safety systems for flammable gases and vapours in oil and gas facilities.

• Combustible Dusts – Develop the skills to identify and manage dust explosion risks in industrial environments such as food, grain, and chemical processing.

Delivery

Hazardous Areas – Electrical Refresher Training can be achieved by completing the 3-day face-to-face training. The 3 days of training include information delivery, practical demonstrations, written assessments, and practical assessments conducted in a simulated hazardous area environment.
