EU ATEX directives and legal practices in Turkey, classification of explosive atmospheres in accordance with TS EN 60079 standards for businesses with dust and gas explosion hazard, evaluation of explosion risks for these zones, preparation of explosion protection documents to eliminate risks and compliance of equipment that can be used in these environments for these environments. Providing the necessary information for the evaluation, |
| Course Content: |
According to the European Parliament and Council Directive, called ATEX 137, numbered 99/92/EC and the "Regulation on the Protection of Employees from the Hazards of Explosive Environments" in our country, employers are required to evaluate the explosion risks in the workplaces, to prevent the formation of explosive atmospheres, to classify the places where explosive atmosphere may occur, to determine the workplace and work equipment. responsible for providing the necessary equipment.
Employers should prepare an explosion protection document in order to protect the health and safety of employees from the dangers of explosive atmospheres that may occur in their workplaces and to ensure workplace safety with appropriate equipment design and use.
The regulation stipulates that the document should be prepared by “trained and/or experienced competent persons”. In education, in accordance with the ATEX 137 directives, TS EN 60079-10-1 (2021)-TS EN 60079-10-2 (2015) standards and the provisions of the "Regulation on the Protection of Employees from the Hazards of Explosive Environments" published in the Official Gazette dated 30.04.2013 and numbered 28633. It will be done in such a way that it can prepare the Explosion Protection Document (PKD). |
