Abstract |
European Directive 94/9/EC, known as the ATEX Directive (see CIS 95-27), specifies the requirements concerning the protection against explosions within enterprises. It requires employers to carry out a hazard evaluation and to record the findings in an explosion protection document, together with all related prevention measures. This booklet presents the structure and content of this document, and provides several examples of hazard evaluations (floor over a silo complex, pneumatic conveying systems, storage of explosive gases and liquids, paint spraying booths, etc.). |
