At Geopal, safety is at the core of everything we do. Ensuring proper installation, maintenance, and operation of gas detection systems in explosive atmospheres is not just about compliance – it’s about protecting lives and critical infrastructure.
That’s why we host our annual ATEX course with Tomm Giiff from TNG Engineering, who shares his invaluable expertise and keeps us updated on the latest regulations and best practices. A huge thank you to Tomm for once again delivering an insightful and engaging training session!
This year’s course covered essential safety principles, including:
- Installation requirements for gas detectors in explosive environments (DS/EN 60079-14)
- Proper maintenance of gas detection systems to ensure long-term reliability (DS/EN 60079-17)
- Design and selection of equipment for explosive areas.
- Explosion safety fundamentals, including access regulations, area classification, and risk prevention
Understanding ATEX regulations is key to preventing accidents and ensuring workplace safety. By continuously strengthening our knowledge and expertise, we ensure that our gas detection solutions meet the highest safety standards – keeping workplaces secure and operations running smoothly.
