CompEx Dust Ex05-Ex06

This CompEx (Ex05-Ex06) Dust course is designed for practicing electrical or instrumental technicians who work in hazardous areas where combustible dust, fibers or flying’s can form an explosive atmosphere. This qualification consists of two units that cover the minimum requirements for the safe working practices that should be followed when working in a hazardous dust area. Candidates will learn what considerations must be given to areas that contain potentially explosive or flammable atmospheres and the factors used to classify their locations.

This course is aimed at practicing electrical technicians, practicing instrumental technicians, electrical/ instrumental engineers who work on physical installation and assembly of new ‘Ex’ equipment and perform preventive maintenance and inspections on previously installed equipment in hazardous dust atmosphere or individuals who have prior CompEx certification supported by an employer sponsor letter.
