Description
The Health and Safety at Work Act, together with current and impending EU Directives, obliges those responsible for hazardous areas, those
who work in such areas and those who supply equipment for use in such areas to demonstrate that they have taken all necessary and reasonable
steps to prevent fires and explosions. This book addresses these issues, seeks to explain the ever increasing complexity of standards
and codes pertaining to this field and describes their method of application and the application of other procedures to assist those
involved.
Audience
Electrical, mechanical, process & plant engineers & managers and safety professionals & managers operating in the oil, chemical, pharmaceutical & petrochemical industries and those industries using oil and chemical products such as the coating, printing and paint industries.
