The programme
The ATEX Fundamentals training course is an introductory course focused on understanding explosion safety and the core principles of ATEX. You will gain insight into the causes of explosion hazards, the associated risks and why explosion safety is so important. The training course is intended as a first step for professionals who work in or around potentially explosive atmospheres and provides a sound basis for further specialisation, such as hazardous-area classification, risk assessment or technical design.
After completing this training course, you will understand:
what an explosion hazard is and how it can arise;
which substances and conditions can create explosion risks;
the basic principles of working safely in accordance with ATEX;
how to recognise and assess risks in practice;
why explosion safety is essential for workplace safety.
After completing ATEX Fundamentals, you will be better able to recognise risks and work safely in potentially explosive atmospheres.

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.
