EEHA Inspector

An EEHA Inspector conducts checks of electrical equipment and systems used in hazardous areas. You might work in industries such as mining or gas, where the use of electricity has to be managed with caution. EEHA Inspectors check that equipment used in these areas meets safety requirements and electrical systems adhere to compliance standards.

EEHA Inspectors should have a strong focus on safety and a thorough understanding of electrical standards in hazardous areas. It’s important that you can communicate well and work with a range of stakeholders. EEHA Inspectors should have strong attention to detail and be able to follow correct procedures during their duties.
