ATEX – Current Ltd

Here at Current LTD we also work in explosive atmospheres. Electricians who work in explosive atmospheres are responsible for providing electrical services in environments where flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers may be present. Our electricians are trained to work with equipment that is designed to be safe in these environments and are familiar with the specific regulations and guidelines that apply to this type of work. They are also well aware of the hazards of explosive atmospheres and we always take the necessary precautions to minimize the risk of explosions.

Our electricians whom work in explosive atmospheres are known as our Atex electricians, and are certified to work in environments that are classified as hazardous areas. They are familiar with the Atex guidelines which are the European Union guidelines for equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres. They are also able to install and maintain Atex-compliant equipment, including lighting, motors, and control systems, to ensure that the electrical systems are safe, reliable, and compliant with the regulations set by the Atex guidelines.

Our Atex electricians typically work in a wide range of environments, such as oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, and food processing plants, where the risk of explosion is high. We are an essential part of ensuring the safety of these facilities and are committed to providing safe and reliable electrical services in these hazardous environments. We can also provide expert advice on Atex compliance and assist with the development of safety procedures and risk assessments.

We specifically provide ATEX inspections. ATEX inspections are an important part of ensuring the safety and compliance of electrical systems in environments where explosive atmospheres may be present. ATEX inspections are carried out by certified Atex inspectors, who have the knowledge and experience to assess the compliance of equipment and systems with the ATEX guidelines. These inspections are carried out at regular intervals and the frequency may be more frequent if the installation is considered to be in a high risk environment or if the installation is showing signs of deterioration.

Our ATEX inspections involve a thorough examination of equipment and systems, including lighting, motors, and control systems, to ensure that they are designed and installed in compliance with the ATEX guidelines. The inspector will also check for any signs of wear and tear, corrosion, or damage that could compromise the safety of the equipment. Any defects or non-compliances identified during the inspection will be reported and recommendations for repairs or upgrades will be made.

Our ATEX inspections are important to ensure that equipment and systems are safe and reliable in environments where explosive atmospheres may be present. They also help to ensure compliance with the ATEX guidelines and regulations, which is a legal requirement in the EU. The inspection report will also serve as a record of the equipment’s condition and compliance status, and will be a useful reference for future maintenance and repairs.

We understand the unique challenges of working in hazardous areas, and our team is equipped with the necessary PPE and tools to work in these environments safely. We are committed to providing our customers with the highest level of service, and our team is dedicated to keeping your facility running safely and efficiently.
