ATEX training courses

UNDERSTAND STANDARDS, MANAGE RISKS

Explosion Safety & ATEX Training

Explosion safety requires knowledge of standards, installations and practical application. Dosign Academy’s ATEX training courses cover the full spectrum of explosion safety, from regulations and risk assessment to inspection, design and maintenance.

Our training courses cover:
• the European ATEX Directives and relevant IEC, NEN and ISO standards;
• zone classification and the assessment of ignition sources;
• the design, installation and maintenance of explosion-protected systems;
• inspection, certification and documentation of Ex equipment;
• organisational responsibilities and the preparation of the Explosion Protection Document.

ATEX requires a tailored approach.
Many organisations therefore choose an in-house programme, ensuring that the training is aligned directly with their own installations and safety procedures. Dosign Academy has delivered these programmes for years for organisations including Derin, Döhler and Sime Darby. We also support organisations with activities such as hazardous-area classification and the preparation of Explosion Protection Documents.

Book a consultation with our training advisor to determine which ATEX training course or tailored solution best suits your organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions About ATEX Training Courses

What is an ATEX training course?
An ATEX training course focuses on working safely in environments where an explosive atmosphere may occur. ATEX refers to European directives intended to protect employees, installations and organisations from explosion hazards. During an ATEX training course, you will learn the principles of these directives, the responsibilities they entail and how to identify and manage risks. Depending on your role and responsibilities, you can specialise in areas such as technical design, hazardous-area classification or fundamental explosion safety.
