Stay Safe in Hazardous Areas

ASET was proud to deliver the brand new CompEx Ex Awareness (ExA) course at our training facility, marking the official launch of this brand-new programme designed to enhance safety for anyone working in or around hazardous areas.

What is the CompEx Ex Awareness Course?

The CompEx Ex Awareness (ExA) Award is a 3–4 hour training course designed for anyone who works in or around potentially explosive atmospheres. It provides essential knowledge to help participants identify hazardous areas, work safely on-site, and contribute to a safety-first culture.

This short course is ideal for building awareness across diverse roles, making it a valuable addition to any organisation’s hazardous area training programme.

Why this course matters

Not everyone working on or visiting hazardous sites is directly involved in electrical or technical work, but everyone has a role in maintaining safety standards. The CompEx Ex Awareness Award (ExA) equips participants with the knowledge to identify hazardous areas, understand how to work safely on-site, and contribute to a culture of safety and compliance.

This course is particularly valuable for contractors, site visitors, and tradespeople such as scaffolders, welders, and mechanical workers who often operate in explosive atmospheres. It also benefits delivery drivers, logistics personnel, and procurement or equipment design professionals who may not spend extended periods on-site but still need a solid understanding of the risks. In short, anyone who enters, supports, or interacts with hazardous area operations can gain from this short, practical awareness course.
