Explosive atmospheres are no exception and there are many ways either for an individual or companies, to improve
The companies who realize the challenges in this area, and mandate competency lead the way by example and their safety statistics are always testament to this!
Within the IEC60079 series of standards there are 3 defined levels of personnel with regards to explosive atmospheres that should be considered when creating a competency matrix:
- Operative
- Designer
- Responsible Person
The best examples ATEC have seen when it comes to a competency matrix has usually consisted of a stepped approach whereby:
- Awareness is first created within the relevant workforce
- A GAP analysis is created within the Operative/Designer/Responsible person population
- Competency Training & Assessment takes place
