Choosing the Right ATEX Smartphone for Zone 1 Applications
ATEX smartphones are now firmly embedded in how work is carried out in Zone 1 hazardous areas. They are no longer supplementary communication devices, but multi-functional tools used for inspection reporting, photographic evidence, access to digital documentation,...
ATEX Cameras for Hazardous Areas: Choosing the Right Imaging Tools for Inspections and Maintenance
Clear, reliable photography plays a vital role in modern hazardous area operations. Whether engineers are documenting corrosion on a pipe run, capturing evidence for a permit-to-work system, or recording asset condition before and after maintenance, the quality and...
Understanding Audible and Visual Signalling in Hazardous Areas
In hazardous environments such as oil refineries, chemical plants, or offshore platforms, clear and reliable signalling can make the difference between safety and disaster. Audible and visual warning devices are a vital part of on-site safety systems, helping workers...
Digital Inspections in Hazardous Areas: Why the Right Tablet Matters
Inspections in hazardous areas are never just routine. They are the backbone of compliance, the assurance of safety, and the evidence that critical assets are being maintained to the highest standards. Yet despite their importance, too many inspection processes still...
Smart LED Grounding: Making Electrostatic Safety Visible
In industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, and logistics, electrostatic discharge during filling or transfer operations poses a serious explosion risk. Grounding clamps and cables are standard, but operators often face uncertainty: is the connection really...
UNI-EX: Versatile Handheld Lighting for Hazardous Area
In hazardous areas, the right lighting is not just convenient, it’s fundamental to safe and effective work. ATEX certified torches provide assurance in environments where explosive atmospheres may be present, but not all solutions are designed with the worker in mind....
A Safer, Smarter Approach to Fire Suppression Checks in Hazardous Areas
In hazardous environments where explosive atmospheres may be present, safety and compliance are non-negotiable. Fire suppression systems are critical assets in these zones — but the routine maintenance and inspection of their pressurised cylinders has traditionally...
Case Study: Unlocking Operational Efficiency with Valve Sense
Targeted valve inspections at a gas processing site reveal major cost-saving opportunities Overview Across the gas processing industry, minor valve leaks often go undetected—quietly contributing to product loss, unnecessary flaring, and inflated maintenance budgets....
