Additional Safety
For environments not formally classified as Hazardous Areas
The workplaces must be classified into hazardous area zones depending on the frequency and time that an explosive atmosphere is present in the form of gas, vapour, powder or dust.
However, in workplaces and plants there are also locations where the hazardous atmosphere may occur but not in such quantities that are required solutions totally in compliant with Atex Zone standard.
When a vehicle is handling potentially hazardous materials, the risk of explosion could be everywhere even in unclassified places. These “non hazardous” locations – which is adjacent to Atex Zone 2 areas – can still have any risk of explosions because a gas/vapour/dust can propagate in the environment . It can also happen the case in which the truck moves from an unclassified area to an Atex Zone 2 area even for a few minutes or for a few seconds. It takes even a few seconds and there can be an explosion… So, for all these reasons, Miretti can offer Gas Checker, monitoring gas system for non classified areas.
Miretti can offer Gas Checker, a flexible and reliable system that can be easily fitted on all types of trucks. Gas Checker is a monitoring Gas System for locations where the hazardous atmosphere may occur but not in such quantities that are required solutions totally in compliant with Atex Directive or in workplaces close by areas which are formally classified as Atex Zones.
