The ATEX Directive 1999/92/EC has transposed into Irish Law as the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations in 2007 Part 8 Explosive atmospheres at places of work. It requires employers to classify workplaces where explosive atmospheres may occur into either hazardous or non-hazardous places. Those places identified as hazardous must be classified into zones, and specific prevention measures detailed in the regulations must be applied.
Where necessary all equipment supplied is ATEX compliant and we can ensure that our customers systems are within the required regulations.
Should clarification be required we have access to some of the professionals involved in drafting these regulations. Further information can be sourced on the Health and Safety Authorities website
The video presentation gives an overview of some of the aspects of ATEX compliance and shows the possible results of explosive atmospheres.
