What is CompEx?
The CompEx Scheme is the recognised global solution for validating the competency of staff working in all industries with potentially hazardous and explosive atmospheres. Our purpose is to support and promote workplace safety, by certifying personal competency.
We have partnered with CompEx Certified Training Academy to conduct CompEx Courses for candidates in Qatar, Oman, UAE & Saudi Arabia (KSA)
CompEx FOUNDATION (EXF)
The CompEx Foundation qualification has been designed to provide an introduction into potentially explosive or flammable environments where gases, vapours and dust can form a hazardous atmosphere. This CompEx Unit provides basic training with certification for personnel who work on equipment for use in explosive atmospheres. The intention of the training is to provide companies a method to raise Hazardous Area awareness for their employees, and/or possibly to measure the suitability of a candidate to work towards competency assessment CompEx Ex01-04.
Upon completion of the CompEx ‘F’ course the student will be able to –
- Basic understanding of the directives & regulations related to Hazardous area
- Basic awareness of IEC 60079 series of standards
- Understand the need for additional protections in Ex areas
- Understand Ex signage and meaning of area classifications
- Understand activities which are and are not allowed in Ex areas and on Ex equipment
