Explosion protection (ATEX) - Documentation preparation
According to the 3/2003 FMM-ESzCsM decree, the employer must prepare or have prepared explosion protection documentation for workplaces in potentially explosive environments, or for their design and use. This is a complex document consisting of technology analysis, zone classification, ignition source analysis, the description of the explosion protection concept (technical and organizational protective measures), and an evaluation of occupational risks, which must be continuously reviewed and amended in case of changes. The result of preparing this documentation will reveal whether your work environment meets the minimum occupational safety requirements specified in the decree from an explosion safety perspective.
Our company undertakes the periodic review and, if necessary, amendment of documentation prepared by us or from other sources, as required by law.
Applicable legislation:
- 3/2003. (III. 11.) FMM-ESzCsM joint decree on the minimum occupational safety requirements for workplaces in potentially explosive environments
- 99/92/EC Directive: Directive 1999/92/EC of the European Parliament and the Council (16 December 1999) on the minimum requirements for improving the safety and health protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres
