Duration
4 days

 

Who should attend?
Person technically responsible for an installation in an explosive atmosphere area: engineer, project and design manager, supervisor responsible for workers in an explosive area.

 

What will I learn from this course?
  • Gain or increase knowledge required for the design, achievement and maintenance of electrical and mechanical installations (equipment) in potentially explosive atmospheres, according to the required standard
  • Ensure the safety welcoming at site
  • Ensure that equipment repair does not downgrade its safety level
  • Make all operators aware of their responsibilities
  • Supervise workers in an explosive atmosphere, and ensure the traceability of repairs
  • Issue the authorization to work in an explosive atmosphere
