*If you have not been actively involved in Ex work (inspection, maintenance and installation) then we highly recommend completing the 5 day;EX01- Ex04 course again.
*Employers and practitioners should consider knowledge, skills and recent experience when deciding which course to attend for recertification.

The RPP consists of four units, which cover the minimum requirements for safe working practices in hazardous areas. Candidates will cover the safety considerations that should be applied to work areas that contain potentially explosive or flammable atmospheres and the factors that are used to classify their location.
The course refreshes and updates candidate knowledge on how to read hazardous area certification, labelling and documentation, and the main protection concepts, categories and levels that are applied to certified Ex electrical equipment.
Successful candidates will demonstrate the knowledge and skills to meet the requirements highlighted in the IEC 60079 series of standards and the relevant national standards and directives. This qualification focuses on the minimum specifications identified in IEC 60079:0, IEC 60079:10.1, IEC 60079:14 and IEC 60079:17.
