Practical Hazardous Areas for Engineers and Technicians


Hazardous AreasThis manual provides delegates with an understanding of the hazards involved in using electrical equipment in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres.

It is based on the newly adopted international IEC79 Series of Standards that are now replacing the older national Standards.

Explosion-proof installations can be expensive to design, install and operate. The wider approaches described in these standards can significantly reduce costs whilst maintaining plant safety.

The manual explains the associated terminology and its correct use. It covers from Area Classification through to the selection of explosion protected electrical apparatus, describing how protection is achieved and maintained in line with these international requirements. Standards require that engineering staff and their management are well learned in Hazardous Areas and this manual is designed to help fulfill that need.
