One maxim that every professional should keep in mind is that safety comes first<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

For a worker it is vital to know the risks involved in his working environment<\/strong>, and to use the appropriate equipment accordingly. If we talk about an industry, it can be more or less easy to determine which substances are present in its production process.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

However, what happens when your environment constantly changes and it is impossible to know in advance what we are going to find?<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

This may be the case for emergency services<\/strong>. The range of scenarios in which they carry out their interventions makes it difficult to identify such risks. As a result, the most advisable is the use of equipment for explosive atmospheres with ATEX certification<\/strong>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

But, what is an explosive atmosphere<\/strong>?<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

It is a mixture with air, under atmospheric conditions, of flammable substances in the form of gases, vapours, mists or dusts in which, after potential ignition has occurred, combustion spreads to the entire unburned mixture.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

And, what are the zones<\/strong>?<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]

These are the areas in which explosive atmospheres can form and their classification will depend on the type of substance that originates it, the frequency with which it occurs and its duration<\/strong>.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
