Hazardous Area Training Course
Course Overview
The Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas (EEHA) course equips participants with the skills and knowledge needed to perform electrical work safely in hazardous environments. The training aligns with the competencies required for working with electrical equipment in hazardous areas, as outlined in AS/NZS 4761.
Combining theoretical instruction with hands-on practical exercises, this course prepares participants to effectively inspect, install, maintain, and address breakdowns of electrical equipment in environments where explosive atmospheres may be present.
Our purpose-built training system, along with portable onsite training boards, provides participants with the opportunity to practice on functional hazardous area equipment, creating a comprehensive and practical learning experience.
