TARGET:<\/strong> Technical departments of machinery manufacturers.<\/p>\n

OBJECTIVES:<\/strong> The training covers the entire AT 1 programme. It goes on to illustrate the methodology for correct risk analysis and reduction<\/strong> in the presence of a potentially explosive atmosphere. Electrical” protection methods such as intrinsic safety or explosion-proof enclosures are detailed. The risk of ignition due to shock, friction or electrostatic charge is also analysed.<\/p>\n

DURATION AT 2:<\/strong> 8 hours (AT 1)+ 8 hours= 16 hours<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n \n \n
