Hazardous Area
Hazardous areas create unique challenges. We will help minimise your risks.
Our team has a wealth of experience in hazardous industrial areas, with successful project deliveries across Australia. We can assist with Ex product selection for your specific requirement, whether it is Zone 1 or 2 for gas, or Zone 21 or 22 for dust. Before the order, we check it is safe to specify.
Hazardous area solutions
Lighting, process heating, control panels, purge and pressurisation, sensing and portable equipment, certified for the zone it has to work in.
It starts before the order
Three questions we ask alongside the part number, so the equipment you specify is certified for the area it goes into.
Where does it run?
Zone 1 or 2 for gas, Zone 21 or 22 for dust, gas group, temperature class, washdown, remote site.
What is it doing?
Powering, controlling, protecting, monitoring, heating or lighting. New or like for like.
What if it is wrong?
Ignition risk, safety, audit exposure, rework, a shutdown now.
