Despite working in places prone to explosions, most people don’t realize the importance of taking safety measures. Their negligence in these zones can lead to serious injuries or even fatalities. These areas or zones are called ATEX Zones. So for those who do not know what ATEX means, we will help them clear their doubts. Before talking about the preventions, we would like to highlight other details related to ATEX explosive workplaces as well. Let’s delve into more details.
ATEX is simply the abbreviation of “ATmosphere EXplosible” and is the name used for the European directives that help prevent accidents in deadly explosive areas. Places that contain hazardous dust particles, which can form clouds and explode, are known as ATEX zones. There are different types of ATEX Zones:
• Zone 0: This is where the atmosphere is filled with explosive air, dust, mist, etc. Here, there are chances of prolonged explosive effects.
• Zone 1 and 21: It contains the same particles as Zone 0. This hazardous environment can be created even during regular working days.
• Zone 2 and 22: The components creating the hazardous environment are the same as Zone 0, but the cloud is usually not formed on normal working days. However, even if the environment becomes explosive, the effect does not last very long.
As we have already mentioned, an explosive atmosphere is a place with risks of deadly explosions. The key elements that must be present in the air to make it explosive are:
• Flammable particles like dust, gases, and vapors
• High level of oxygen
• An ignition pointThe atmosphere can be divided into three main categories; the first category is when the explosion takes place due to gases, vapors, and droplets. The second category is when flammable dust causes the explosion. Lastly, the third is when the main object to be dealt with is explosive.
So far, the best solution for keeping explosive areas in check is the use of an Explosion-proof CCTV camera. Using this equipment can help you keep an eye on every corner of the workplace, and if an explosion occurs, you can immediately spot it and call for help.
