In environments where explosion hazards may occur, correct hazardous area classification and proper risk substantiation are essential. Dosign Academy’s ATEX Hazardous Area Classification & Risk Assessment (EPD) training course has been developed for professionals involved in analysing and assessing hazardous areas. During this ATEX training course, you will learn how to apply hazardous area classification, assess risks systematically and document the results in an Explosion Protection Document (EPD). This is why the training course is also often referred to as an EPD training course.
