Introduction to Hazardous Area Classifications and Protection

In today's industrial environment, safety is of utmost importance. With the increasing complexity of manufacturing processes, hazardous areas are becoming more common, making it necessary to implement safety measures to protect employees and equipment. As such, understanding hazardous area classifications and protection is critical for any business operating in a hazardous environment.

At RTR Engineering, we specialize in Occupational Health and Safety services throughout Southern Ontario, and we offer a range of services to safeguard businesses from personal and business risks inherent in manufacturing operations. One of our primary services is Hazardous Area Classifications, which involves identifying hazardous areas and then implementing appropriate safety measures to minimize risk.

Hazardous Area Classifications are based on the likelihood of an explosive atmosphere occurring in a particular area. This classification system helps to determine the types of equipment and safety measures required in that area. The classification is based on three factors: the type of hazard, the frequency of occurrence, and the duration of exposure.

At RTR Engineering, we begin with a thorough review of our client's procedures, training, and documentation to identify potential hazards. We then render recommendations tailored to fortify the Occupational Health and Safety System's efficacy and compliance.
