How do we define a hazardous area?
In the latest edition of ECA Today, Paul Hague, Technical Authority at CompEx, and Gary Parker, Senior Technical Manager at ECA, discuss the importance of recognising and identifying hazardous areas, and creating a suitably skilled and competent workforce.
The CompEx Scheme is the recognised global solution for validating the competency of staff working in all industries with potentially hazardous and explosive atmospheres. Our purpose is to support and promote workplace safety, by certifying personal competency.
