EEHA Course – Electrical Equipment In Hazardous Areas – BRISBANE

Our Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas – EEHA Training Course is a natural progression for Electricians wanting to upskill and work in the Oil and Gas Manufacturing Industry. EEHA gives you a statement of attainment (this is not a full qualification) and enables a person to work in Hazardous areas. If you are after a full qualification please check Certificate IV in Hazardous Areas. 

Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Area – EEHA is a 4-day intensive course which consists of 3–days of theory and 1 – day of practical. During this training, you will be using the latest standards and gaining hands-on practical knowledge from our trainers with over 20 years of experience.

Theory Assessments:

You will cover knowledge from AS 60079 series for various explosion techniques like Ex d, Ext, Ex e, Exp, Ex m and Ex I in Gaseous and Dust atmospheres. At the end of the theory assessments, you will have sound knowledge of the Hazardous area classifications, purpose, installation, maintenance aspects of the equipment and explosion techniques.

Practical Assessment:

Practical should be pre-booked with our support team (support@ausinet.com.au) which can be done after completing your theory assessments. A full-day intensive practical comprises the following tasks:

• Installation of barrier glands based on the type of cables, selecting appropriate glands for given cables.
• Inspecting different equipment in a HA site located in the workshop.
• Planning and preparing HA documents.
• Installing HA equipment in HA environment in the workshop
• Documenting/Creating a HAVD.

On completion of this EEHA Course, you will receive a Nationally recognized qualification.

This qualification provides competencies to:

• Supervise selection, installation, commissioning and testing of explosion-protected equipment and systems for control and monitoring of plant and processes.
• Work with explosion protection techniques with elections in how they apply to coal, gas, and dust atmospheres.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

” I have just recently completed my cert IV EEHA training with Kevin and Ausinet and found the entire experience was a positive one. The teaching methods and course flexibility meant I was able to obtain my certification without having to take any time off work and still get through the theory at my own p

ace. The pricing of the course was extremely good and I later found that the course is supported through the trade union jetco fund which was an added bonus. I will be using Ausinet in the future for additional training for sure.” –

” A bit like the HA courses that have rapidly became common place in the gas industry today so to is the need & focus now to up skill within the instrumentation field. This is where Kevin excels and sits apart from other training providers, with his informative, patient and thorough knowledge that comes from his years of experience in the field and a course structure that comes from listening to what people want from their training provider, I am happy to recommend Ausinet and Kevin for both the training i have undertaken and working alongside him in the field, great effort” –

You can check this article on our blog https://www.ausinet.com.au/what-is-the-difference-between-eeha-and-certificate-iv-hazardous-areas/  Some Human Resources departments are fine with an EEHA certificate (Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas) only but some ask for a full Certificate. It is always better to get a full Certificate IV in Hazardous Areas as it is a higher qualification and only takes one more day to complete compared to the EEHA course. EEHA is a skill set that is part of Certificate IV in Hazardous Areas. Having Certificate IV will also enable you to work in Supervisory positions.

Recruiters might favour applicants with a Cert IV HA compared to EEHA. If they get several similar profiles, this would be what sets them out from the others and give them more chances to get the job compared to someone who just has an EEHA Certificate.
