EEHA stands for Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas. It refers to the installation, maintenance, and inspection of electrical systems in locations where flammable gases, vapours, or dust could pose an explosion risk
EEHA compliance ensures that electrical installations meet AS/NZS 60079 standards, reducing the risk of electrical faults that could lead to explosions or fires in hazardous environments
Industries such as oil and gas, mining, chemical processing, food manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals require EEHA-certified electricians to maintain safe and compliant operations
Hazardous areas are classified based on the likelihood of explosive atmospheres:
• Zone 0: Continuous presence of flammable gas/vapour
• Zone 1: Occasional presence of explosive gas/vapour
• Zone 2: Flammable gas/vapour is unlikely but possible
The frequency of EEHA inspections depends on the risk level and classification of the hazardous area, typically ranging from 6 months to 3 years. Regular inspections help ensure continued safety and compliance
