ATEX ASSESSMENT

• ATEX is an acronym of the French Atmospheriques
  Explosive and is the name commonly given to the
  two European Directives for controlling explosive
  atmospheres
• Directive 99/92/EC also known as ATEX 153 or
  the ATEX Workplace Directive on minimum
  requirements for improving the health and safety
  protection of workers potentially at risk from
  explosive atmospheres. It concentrates on the end
  users responsibilities.
• Directive 2014/34/EU replaces 94/9/EC also known
  as ATEX 114 or the ATEX Equipment
  Directive on the approximation of the laws of
  Members States concerning equipment and
  protective systems intended for use in
  potentially explosive atmospheres. It focuses on
  the duties of the manufacturers.

DSEAR ASSESSMENT

• The Dangerous Substances and Explosive
  Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) 2002 is a UK law
  which came into force on the 9th December 2002
  and is a combination of two European Directives,
  1999/92/EC, now known as ATEX 153 directive and
  98/24/EC, known as CAD, the Chemical Agents
  Directive.
• DSEAR Assessment set minimum requirements for
  the protection of workers from fire and explosion
  risks related to dangerous substances and
  potentially explosive atmospheres. According to
  DSEAR, all sites handling flammable materials
  capable of forming a potentially explosive
  atmosphere should have adequate protection
  against risks from fire, explosion and similar
  events arising from dangerous substances used or
  present in the workplace. From June 2015 DSEAR
  also covers the risk caused by gases under
  pressure and substances that are corrosive to
  metals.

HAZOP STUDY

• The HAZOP technique was originally developed
  almost 40 years ago and is now the most familiar
  method to identify and manage hazards on process
  plants worldwide. Even though hazard
  identification is the key focus, operability
  problems should be identified to understand if
  they have the possibility to result in process
  hazards.
