Hazardous Areas Awareness
Online
Face to Face
Aims to train various personnel on the risks of operating in high-risk flammable and combustible environments.
Hazardous areas are locations where gases, vapours, mists, or dusts are present in quantities that could create an explosive atmosphere. Working in these environments requires specific precautions to ensure workers are properly protected, adequately trained, and aware of the conditions that may lead to ignition. Anyone carrying out tasks in hazardous areas must understand the potential for ignition and the control measures needed to maintain a safe workplace.
This course is suitable for anyone who may enter or work in a hazardous area, including cleaning staff, HSE personnel, tradespeople, and management.

Student Links
Bob was an excellent trainer. He was personable, had a thorough understanding and working knowledge of the topics and he was able to tailor the theory to our work environment. Throughout the training he provided practical examples from his own experience, or that of others, to assist us in understanding the theory, which was very helpful. The training was extensive and has provided me with not only a greater understanding of my role, but also strategies to implement the training and knowledge of resources to assist me in the role. Thank you Bob!
