Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Explosive atmospheres are present in many industries — including oil & gas, chemical processing, grain storage, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and automotive paint facilities. When flammable gases, vapours, mists, or combustible dusts mix with air under the right conditions, a single spark or static discharge can cause a devastating explosion.
This comprehensive ATEX Awareness course provides the essential knowledge required to recognize hazards, understand legal requirements, and apply safe working practices in potentially explosive environments.
Throughout this course, you will learn:
How explosive atmospheres form and how explosions occur
The fundamentals of ATEX and DSEAR regulations
Hazardous area classification (Zones 0, 1, 2, 20, 21, 22)
Gas groups, dust groups, and temperature classes
How to interpret ATEX and EX equipment markings
How to select compliant equipment for hazardous areas
Common ignition sources and how to control them
Risk assessment methodology and Explosion Protection Documents (EPD)
Explosion prevention and protection techniques
Static electricity control and grounding practices
Roles and responsibilities of employers and workers
The course includes practical exercises, real-world case studies, and downloadable templates to help reinforce learning and ensure you can apply ATEX awareness principles confidently in your workplace.
This training is suitable for technicians, engineers, supervisors, HSE professionals, maintenance personnel, inspectors, and anyone working in or around hazardous areas.
By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in explosive atmosphere safety and the confidence to contribute to safer, legally compliant workplaces.
Invest in safety knowledge — it protects lives, assets, and careers.
