• 4.5 Days

• $1,950

Delivered at one of PMV’s national training centres (Perth, Brisbane & Adelaide), or at a client’s facility.

This post-trade professional development course is for anyone involved in the “hands-on” side of hazardous area electrical work, i.e. the installation, maintenance or inspection of hazardous area electrical equipment. Electricians and instrument technicians are the most common attendees, but we also train electrical engineers who perform inspections as part of their role. The course covers the theory and practice of field work in hazardous areas.

PRE-REQUISITES
The course is post-trade training, so we usually require a current electrical license (any Australian state or territory) or instrumentation trade certificate as a pre-requisite. Electrical Engineers who complete the inspection units of competency marked * in the table above, will be entitled to receive the SOA. If you have other qualifications or you’re unsure please just give us a call, we may still be able to help.

You will undergo one on one practical training with industry experienced, qualified Electrical Professional Trainers with hands on experience in installation, inspection and remediation work in Hazardous areas. The training will include inspection on purpose-built hazardous area skids in the following areas:

• Principles of hazardous area classification;
• Explosion-protection techniques;
• Hazardous area standards and Codes of practice
• Reading and understanding hazardous area classification drawings
• Name plate reading exercise for Ex d, Ex e and Ex i
• Reading Certificate of Conformity
• Equipment selection, installation, breakdowns and maintenance requirements;
• Permit to work, including safe isolation and testing procedures;
• Making up of Ex d Barrier Gland
• Detailed inspection on Ex e/Ex d box and Ex i loop on PMV Hazardous Areas Skids

PMV offers a small size class with flexible training to accommodate difficult rosters / work schedules.

In accordance with the AS/NZS 60079.14 requirement for continuing education, PMV recommends that the EEHA Installation and Maintenance competencies are refreshed every 3 years.

Blended delivery of 60% theory and 40% practical training with equipment that you are likely to see in a typical industrial environment with electrical equipment in hazardous areas (EEHA). The course includes in-class progressive assessment; short answer tests on hazardous area fundamentals; equipment marking; equipment certification; and, device interpretation.
