Safe working in hazardous areas

CompEx Competency Scheme

 

The CompEx Scheme provides candidates with essential knowledge and practical skills to enable safe working in potentially explosive atmospheres, whether due to flammable gas, combustible dust or other hazards.

The CompEx scheme currently consists of ten training and assessment units, which can be studied individually or as complementary pairs.

Each candidate is required to demonstrate competence through a series of practical tests and written multi-choice test papers, with successful candidates receiving a CompEx Certificate of Core Competence.
