Every company that transports, stores and uses flammable substances is required by the Dutch Working Conditions Act (Arbowet) to pursue a policy aimed at protecting employees against the dangers of explosion.

The underlying basis lies in the European ATEX 153 Directive (1999/92/EG). The risks for the employee must be recorded in an explosion protection document composed of at least:

a risk analysis
danger zone layout
the appropriate technical and organisational control measures to be taken

Kiwa Technology can offer you advice and support in drafting the explosion protection document.
