An Explosion Risk Assessment identifies fire and explosion hazards in areas where potentially explosive atmospheres are likely to be present. It involves identifying dangerous substances, assessing the presence of flammable or explosive atmospheres, and evaluating control measures to ensure safety.
Explosion Risk Assessments are comprehensive analyses aimed at identifying and mitigating risks associated with products, plants, and processes in potentially explosive environments. These assessments involve:
A risk assessment is necessary to identify where combustible dust hazards exist within your facility.
Explosion Risk Assessments are mandatory according to ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, 2014/34/EU, and 1999/92/EC. They focus on:
Explosion Risk Assessments are crucial due to the severe consequences of explosions, including the risk to life, health, and property. These assessments help:
Directive specifying the health and safety requirements for working in potentially explosive atmospheres. The directive is often referred to as ATEX 153 / formerly ATEX 137 (where the reason for this numerical change is a change in the provisions of the Lisbon Treaty, where Article 153 deals with European occupational health and safety).
The requirements for equipment and protective systems in potentially explosive atmospheres are specified in Directive 2014/34/EU. The directive is often referred to as ATEX 114.
Companies operating in environments where explosive atmospheres may occur must conduct Explosion Risk Assessments. This requirement ensures compliance with ATEX directives and helps maintain fire and explosion safety.
An explosion protection document is an obligation in Europe based on Directive 1999/92/EC. This Directive aims to provide safe working conditions for employees and indicates the obligations of employers in particular.
