Overview

The CompEx Foundation course runs throughout the year and is a specialised training programme aimed at Technical Assistants, Supervisors, Contract Managers and Senior Management.

This course is essential for anyone that is responsible for employing or sending people to work in any flammable atmosphere or Hazardous area plant where DSEAR 2002 Regulations apply (ie: Company Directors, Human Resource staff, project managers, Facilities Management staff and site supervisor’s). This course will also be invaluable to those electrical craftsperson’s who do not currently work in hazardous atmospheres or have little existing experience, and wish to gain a theoretical overview in preparation for attending the full Ex01 – Ex04 competency course at a later date.

This is a nationally-recognised qualification offering underpinning knowledge. The course provides an overview of the requirements of achieving and maintaining safe installations in hazardous areas, enabling a greater appreciation of the hazards associated with working in explosive atmospheres and the promotion of safe working practices. 
Delegates attending this course often work in potentially explosive environments such as:

• On and off-shore oil and gas installations
• Petrochemical plants
• Distilleries
• Petrol forecourt environments
• Mills and other dust generating environments
• Power Utilities and generation
• Pharmaceutical
• Hydrogen generation and use
• Anywhere a flammable atmosphere either gas or combustible dust exist
