About Course

Electrical systems in hazardous environments pose unique and serious risks when explosive gases, vapors, or dusts are present. The Basics Course in Explosive Atmospheres (Assessment & Protection Principles), provides a strong foundation in identifying, assessing, and managing explosion hazards from an electrical engineering perspective. 

This course focuses on the safe design, selection, installation, and maintenance of electrical equipment in explosive atmospheres, following international standards such as IECEx and ATEX. It is ideal for electricians, instrumentation technicians, electrical engineers, maintenance personnel, and safety officers working in oil & gas, petrochemical, manufacturing, and industrial plants.
