Hazardous Area Case Study 2 – Petroleum Industry Area Classification

With all the publicity concerning DSEAR our client was worried that one of his sites, a fuel storage depot, had not been assessed. Within a few weeks of his instruction we had undertaken the risk assessment and the area classification, in this case to the IP25 industry standard. Due to the fact that we have all of the necessary resources in-house we can follow straight on with the area classification drawings as well as certified equipment inspections. The site itself, despite being part of a large international company, was relatively small, and we went on to finish the standard electrical (EAWR) inspections and testing as part of the same exercise.
