EEHA FAQ
Course Overview
The Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas (EEHA) Installation and Maintenance course equips students with the competencies required to perform electrical work in hazardous areas, in alignment with the standards set out in AS/NZS 4761 – Competencies for working with electrical equipment for hazardous areas (EEHA).
Combining theoretical instruction with hands-on practical activities, this course provides participants with the skills and knowledge to inspect, report, install, maintain, and respond to faults on electrical equipment located in potentially explosive environments.
Practical training is conducted using our purpose-built hazardous area facility and portable onsite training boards, enabling participants to reinforce their learning through realistic, task-based scenarios that simulate hazardous area conditions.

Course Overview
The EEHA Refresher (2 Days) program is designed to support ongoing competency for personnel who install, inspect, maintain, or fault-find electrical equipment in hazardous areas. It aligns with the continuing education expectation in AS/NZS 60079.14:2022 (Clause 4.5) and the periodic re-assessment guidance in AS/NZS 4761.1:2018 (Appendix A, A5), which indicates that personnel regularly involved in hazardous area activities should typically be re-assessed on a 2–3 year cycle.
Delivered as a focused blend of targeted theory and practical, task-based activities, the refresher reinforces critical requirements for hazardous area work, including: verification and inspection practices, documentation and reporting, installation and maintenance principles, and structured response to faults and non-conformances on explosion-protected equipment.
Practical components are conducted using our purpose-built hazardous area training facility and portable onsite training boards, providing realistic scenarios that replicate hazardous area conditions and reinforce correct application of inspection techniques, maintenance practices, and compliance-focused decision making.
