HA Inspectors Course

Accredited course.
Delivered over 5 days.
Emphasis on the accurate conduction of audits.

Hazardous Areas Inspectors

Course Description

Volt Edge has now developed a National Recognised Inspectors course, which is a course designed to allow a Hazardous Area Electrician to:
→ Be authorised at a particular site as an Inspector.
→ Used as technical back up for the QLD Hazardous Areas Auditors application.
OR
→ Used at technical back up for the Victorian H class inspectors course and application.

Content Delivery

This is a 5 day face to face course with a mix of practical and theory. The person, when deemed competent, should be able to inspect previous completed a detailed inspection of a hazardous area installation and then create an auditable document list of non compliances and which clause in the Australian Standards that is required.

Outcomes

After successful completion of this course, students will have the skills to:
→ Verify hazardous classification for the area.
→ Select and check equipment, wiring and accessories.
→ Design system and installation.
→ Audit hazardous areas documentation (verification dossier).
→ Prepare to audit as-built installation.
→ Establish and implement procedures for maintaining explosion-protection.
