The CompEx Foundation qualification has been designed to provide an introduction into potentially explosive or flammable environments where gases, vapours and dust can form a hazardous atmosphere. This CompEx Unit provides basic training with certification for personnel who work on equipment for use in explosive atmospheres. The intention of the training is to provide companies a method to raise Hazardous Area awareness for their employees, and/or possibly to measure the suitability of a candidate to work towards competency assessment CompEx Ex01-04.
