CompEx 12 and 14 training courses

Competence is one of the most important factors in maintaining safety within hazardous areas. CompEx is the internationally recognised certification scheme for personnel working in hazardous areas.


It provides independent evidence that engineers have the knowledge and practical skills needed to work safely with explosion-protected equipment and supports organisations in demonstrating competence under DSEAR and ATEX.
