Does EEHA Expire? Is EEHA Refresher Training Required Every 2 Years?

 

EEEHA Refresher Training Requirement

 

A common belief is that EEHA Refresher training is mandatory every 2 years.

This is Not True! There is no specified interval requirement when it comes to EEHA refresher training. It is recommended by many organisations but not mandatory. If you ask me, I will do a CPR refresher every year, not because it is mandatory, but because I would like to know what to do in the event of an emergency when someone needs CPR. If I am working in Electrical or any construction industry, then the chances of me or my co-worker needing CPR is higher in comparison to someone working in an office environment.

Similarly, EEHA refresher, like any other refresher training, should be done regularly to keep up to date with the changes in regulation. Another thing to do would be an AS 3000 refresher but no one seems to be interested in it as it’s not recommended by companies or the licencing board.

EEHA Refresher Helps Keep Risk at Bay

The myth about EEHA refresher being mandatory probably started with an RTO that wanted to get recurring students. Doing a refresher is always a good thing but if tradesmen do not decide to do it themselves, or do not take pride in their work, then the industry will sometimes make it mandatory as Hazardous area work is a high-risk work environment. It is better to refresh and be safe than regret and have an accident because someone didn’t pick up on the fact that an Exp equipment was installed in Zone 0.
