Course and Unit Syllabus
Working in hazardous areas. Our main objective - Safety
In Hazardous Areas with explosion-proof (Ex) equipment, even small mistakes can cause fatal explosions & fires.
Safe operation in explosive atmospheres requires specialized competencies for everyone from procurement to operations & maintenance, to construction, & even management.
In order to prevent unnecessary accidents and to work more safely, the workers who perform the work must acquire appropriate safety knowledge and skilled explosion-proof technology. IECEx CoPC is a certification that is directly certified by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which is used both domestically and globally. All explosion-proof certifications are certified based on IEC 60079 made by IEC.
Our training experts are available worldwide, via classroom, webinar, or e-learning.
IndEx delivers a range of training and education programs designed to provide every corporate level with the appropriate tools to understand safe operations in explosive atmospheres. Our courses and customized training programs can significantly reduce potential reworks, including cost & schedule overruns. By having the required knowledge to ensure compliance and most importantly, SAFETY, all stakeholders are now able to identify & mitigate potential risks.
IndEx can provide assessments worldwide, if you have a group of candidates please contact us and we will work on a solution to suit your requirements.
