EEHA Courses
Our comprehensive courses in Electrical Equipment for Hazardous Areas offer participants the opportunity to obtain nationally recognised competencies that also meet the requirements of Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4761. We offer competencies in EEHA design, EEHA installation and maintenance, and in area classification. We also offer a one-day awareness course for those seeking an introduction to the field. As per Australian/New Zealand Standards work in hazardous areas shall only be carried out by persons who have been trained in the different Hazardous Areas protection and installation techniques.

| ueeneem011B | Conduct Detailed Inspections of Hazardous Areas Installations |
| Endorsement offered for Ex d, e, i, n, p, DIP and mixed explosion-protection techniques. | |
| Prerequisite Competencies: | Course participants will require a minimum Certificate III in Electrotechnology or equivalent for award of Statement of Attainment. Apprentice electricians or candidates with tertiary electrical qualifications are eligible for award of Statement of Completion. |
| Course fee: | POA |
| Notes: | Typically a minimum of 8 people is required to run the course. |
| Course Name: | Hazardous Areas Installation and Maintenance Refresher |
| Duration and Venue: | 2 Days, at CT's Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Mackay Training Centre, or Client Facility |
| Description: | This course is intended as a periodic refresher (recommended every two years) for electrical workers and engineers who hold the competencies delivered by our five day course. It is typically delivered on site and can be customised to focus on the equipment and procedures in place at the client’s facility. The course can be two or three days in length according to the client’s requirements. Training focuses on the practical components of the five day course, particularly on inspections and testing. |
| Competency Outcomes: | Upon successful completion of the course a Statement of Completion will be issued. |
| Prerequisite Competencies: | Course participants will require a minimum Certificate III in Electrotechnology or equivalent or tertiary electrical qualification and must have previously completed a full Installation and Maintenance course. |
| Course fee: | POA |
| Notes: | Typically a minimum of 8 people is required to run the course. |
| Course Name: | HAZARDOUS AREAS CLASSIFICATION AND DESIGN |
| Duration and Venue: | 5 Days, at CT's Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Mackay Training Centre, or Client Facility |
| Description: | This is an advanced course, intended for electrical workers, technicians, engineers and senior engineers involved with the design of electrical installations in hazardous areas and in area classificatiion. It covers hazardous area classification procedures and techniques for both gas/vapour installations and for combustible dusts, including the proper methods for documenting the classification. Design topics include protection techniques, equipment selection, earthing requirements, Ex i entity calculations, Ex e motor protection and cable de-rating requirements, maximum dissipated power calculations and general design principles. Participants complete several classification and design tasks using real world input data over the course of the five days. |
| Assessment: | In-class progressive assessment, short-answer test papers, classification and design project exercises. |
| Competency Outcomes: | Upon successful completion of the course a Statement of Attainment for the following Units of Competency will be issued: |
| ueeneem015b | Classify Hazardous Areas |
| ueeneem016b | Design Electrical Installations in Hazardous Areas |
| ueeneem017b | Design Explosion-Protected Electrical Systems |
| Endorsement offered for Ex d, e, i, n, p, DIP and mixed explosion-protection techniques. | |
| Prerequisite Competencies: | Course participants will typically require a minimum Certificate III in Electrotechnology or tertiary electrical qualification. |
| Course fee: | POA |
| Notes: | Typically a minimum of 6 people is required to run the course. |
| Course Name: | Hazardous Area Awareness |
| Duration and Venue: | 1 Day, at CT's Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Mackay Training Centre, or Client Facility |
| Description: | This course is intended for electrical and non-electrical participants. It covers the legislative requirements of hazardous area installations and provides an overview of the relevant standards. It provides an introduction to explosion-protected equipment and explains how to read hazardous area classification drawings and interpret equipment markings. Safe systems of work and safety issues such as toxicity are also covered. |
| Assessment: | In-class progressive assessment, short-answer test papers |
| Competency Outcomes: | Upon successful completion of the course a Statement of Completion will be issued. |
| Prerequisite Competencies: | None |
| Course fee: | POA |
| Notes: | Typically a minimum of 8 people is required to run the course. |

|
| Course Name: | Gas Detection |
| Duration and Venue: | 1 or 2 Days at CT's Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Mackay Training Centre, or Client Facility |
| Description: | This course is intended for general operational personnel (1 day version) and for electrical installation, maintenance and design personnel (2 day version). It covers the use (and misuse) of portable gas detection devices on the first day and the design and installation of fixed gas detection equipment on the second day. The focus is on both the principles of operation of the sensing devices themselves and on the behaviour of the gases and vapours they detect. The aim is to create an understanding of the limitations of gas detectors and the potential pitfalls in their use. The course is delivered by Dr Chris Simpson, one of Australia's foremost experts on the subject, with over thirty years experience designing sensors in both fixed and portable applications. |
| Assessment: | In-class progressive assessment, short-answer test papers, practical exercises |
| Competency Outcomes: | Upon successful completion of the course (both days) a Statement of Attainment for the following Units of Competency will be issued: |
| UEENEEM003b | Use and Maintain the Integrity of Portable Gas Detection Devices |
| UEENEEM005b | Install and Maintain the Integrity of Fixed Gas Detection Equipment |
| UEENEEM018b | Design Gas Detection Systems |
| Prerequisite Competencies: | A qualification in general plant operations to AQF level II or equivalent is required for the award of UEENEEM003B. UEENEEM004B or equivalent is required for the award of UEENEEM005B and UEENEEM017B or equivalent is required for the award of UEENEEM018B. |
