Mark Your Hazardous Location
Respecting safety zones is important. As personnel can travel between zones without noticing the switch in zones clear safety signs and the correct instrumentation is crucial. A misunderstanding, or lack of orientation, can in worst case trigger dangerous explosions, even at a very public facility such as a gas station.
Three Hazardous Locations or Zones
Hazardous areas are classified in three different zones which are based upon the frequency of the occurrence and duration of a potential hazardous atmosphere. This goes for both gas and dust; however, the zones are labelled individually as the safety needed differs.
