Combining the New Zealand Certificate in Energy and Chemical Operations (Plant and Machinery) (Level 3), this qualification provides the energy and chemical plant industry with competent employees who have the operational skills and knowledge required to work as entry level operators. This qualification is suitable for you if you wish to enter the industry or are already employed as an entry-level operator and want to develop your career in energy or chemical plants.
Ensuring workplace safety in potentially explosive environments from the presence of gases, vapours, dusts and flammable materials is the key purpose of this qualification.
This qualification is designed for electricians, instrument technicians, mechanical and process workers who need to meet safety regulations in hazardous areas, now referred to as ‘explosive atmospheres.’
During the course, you’ll gain theoretical knowledge and find out how to apply safety principles, procedures, and statutory requirements to safely enter and operate an explosive atmospheres site. These include, but are not limited to, oil and gas and petrochemical industries, dairy industries and other industries that have gases, vapors, dusts or flammable products on site.
This qualification is only offered through WITT, and is available to students throughout New Zealand, including in-house training.
