ATEX Operator

The Operator is responsible for operating, monitoring, and adjusting production processes within a factory or plant. In this ATEX Operator training, operators learn to recognise risks, work safely with Ex equipment, and how to apply the correct procedures, with a focus on practical applicability.

The following topics are covered:

  • Introduction to ATEX
  • Legislation and regulations
  • Risk assessment within the company
  • Explosion Protection Document (EPD)
  • Organisational & technical measures
  • Sources of ignition and hazards
  • Hazardous area classification
  • Protection methods for Ex equipment
  • Practical work in ATEX environments
  • Work Permits (This is an assumption for ‘Werkvergunningen’ as it appears in the list but not in the main text; it’s a common and relevant topic)

Learning Objectives of the ATEX Operator training:

  • Insight into risks and explosion hazards
  • Knowledge of ATEX legislation (114 & 153)
  • Recognising hazardous areas and sources of ignition
  • Correct application of measures and procedures
  • Working responsibly with Ex equipment
