Training and Competence of Personnel Designing for or Working in Hazardous Areas
Intertek has UK's largest dedicated explosion safety training centre which offers practical and theoretical CompEx Certification and DSEAR competence training and training for equipment designers and manufacturers at all levels in all hazardous area fields. Training facilities in other parts of Europe, Middle East and United States are also available.
If you are involved with ATEX, IECEx or DSEAR equipment, it is likely that the new training and competence requirements will affect you. The new edition of IEC60079-14 (edition 4) specifies in detail the requirements for people involved in the installation of equipment or plant designed for use in hazardous areas (explosive atmospheres). Installation is equally applicable to skid/assembly manufacturers who use certified ATEX or IECEx equipment to form an assembly, as it is to installers of apparatus on a plant. Designers and manufacturers of equipment also need to be sure they are making the right decisions when it comes to ensuring the equipment is designed to the requirements of the correct and current standards.
Training courses available include:
- Training Courses for Staff in Hazardous Areas (Explosive Atmospheres)
- CompEx Certified Training Courses for Site Operatives
- ModulEx Modular training programme for designers and manufacturers of hazardous area equipment
- Bespoke Training for ATEX and DSEAR
