Frequently Asked Questions
What qualifies an area as hazardous for electrical work?
A hazardous area is a location where flammable gases, vapours, dusts or fibres can mix with air and create an explosion risk. These areas are classified into zones based on the likelihood and duration of exposure.
For example, Zone 1 means flammable gas is likely during normal operations. Electrical systems in these environments must be built to avoid sparks, overheating or ignition risks.
Can general electricians work in hazardous areas?
No. Hazardous area work requires special training and certification under standards like AS/NZS 4761 and 60079. Electricians must understand how to read zone classifications, select explosion-protected equipment, and install systems to strict safety requirements.
Using a non-qualified tradesperson could result in failed audits, voided insurance or serious safety risks.
What equipment do you install in hazardous areas?
Electricians install a range of certified Ex-rated gear including lighting, junction boxes, sensors, isolators, switches and control panels. Every item is matched to the specific zone and environment.
An electrician also ensures cable terminations, enclosures and conduits are sealed and fitted correctly to prevent dust or gas ingress. All proper installations must include labelling and documentation for ongoing compliance.

We understand that no two sites are the same. That’s why our hazardous area services in Maroochydore start with a site inspection and risk assessment, not assumptions. We identify zone classifications, assess existing systems and plan every install to meet your specific compliance needs.

Every cable gland, seal, and enclosure is fitted with precision and backed by clear documentation. Our team is licensed for working at heights and confined spaces, and we only use quality explosion-protected gear from trusted suppliers.
