CompEX or EEHA Hazardous area's Training

[KennyKen]

Hi Guys been working in the Mines - Australia. Completed Hazardous areas training. Just wanted to let all industrial or commercial sparks who will jump up a notch that I have eventually found the field that I'm satisfied with. Prospective sparkles who are thinking of doing the move to AUS should definitely consider moving into this field. I thought I would share my personal experience as I have seen many posts from the forum regarding migration for Electricians.

Have a a great day peeps peace.

Complex or EEHA? so what is your question ?

 

[KennyKen]

There's no question. Should of made this thread in the foreign section but by mistake it came here. It's more guidance as I have had many people from the UK asking what particular work best suits British sparks. The compEX and EEHA are the same. Ones British and the other is Australian I used that as an heading.

Also any advice about moving to au and the best way get a licence over, thanks.

We sent all the crooks over there to work down the pits a few hundred years ago.

EEHA and compex the same. That's news to me. Have they started using ex n in Australia ?

 

[KennyKen]

Yeah there both the same according to the regs here and yes non sparking or EX 'N' apparatus and equipment are used. Getting a licence there is a pain in the ********. Aussies have this massive misconception that British sparks are ****e and laugh at the concept of final ring mains. I got a gig in the mines because there more suited to mechanical protection therefore protected with steel conduit something the Aussies fail miserably at considering they have trouble bending plastic pipe. It's generally seen as a respectable occupation here so sparkles are generally paid well.
