Preventing the unintentional ignition of explosive atmospheres is a critical safety and economic aspect of all business operations. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Defining the hazard, classifying hazard materials, understanding the nature of the risk and the necessary to eliminate sources of ignition
• The installation and maintenance of different types of equipment i.e., flameproof, increased safety and intrinsic safety etc
• Select appropriate electrical equipment and instruments for those areas
• Install, inspect, and maintain the certified equipment and the documentation of the hazardous areas
