2.30. Explosion protection - measures following ATEX
Due to a holistic assessment of the workplace, the operator ensures that the
working equipment and all installation materials are suitable for operation in
potentially explosive areas, and that they are assembled, installed and operated so
that they do not give rise to explosions.
If changes, extension and/or redesigns are undertaken in potentially explosive
areas, the operator must carry out the required measures so that these changes,
extensions or redesigns fulfil the minimum regulations for explosion protection.
The operator

documents the measures for explosion protection.

marks the potentially explosive areas.

prepares written operating instructions.

selects suitable employees.

Provides these employees with sufficient and appropriate instructions
with reference to explosion protection.

applies an approval system for hazardous activities and for those which
may become hazardous in interaction with other work.

carries out the necessary inspections and monitoring.

ensures that only original spare parts are used.
2.31. Provision of necessary information
The operator must make the instructions required for the respective activity
accessible to all people commissioned with operation, maintenance and repairs.
He must ensure that these people have read the necessary instructions and have
understood them.
The same applies for all relevant safety data sheets, company instructions,
accident prevention regulations, instructions from suppliers of purchase parts and
utilities.
Depending on the business organization, the relevant instructions may have to be
made accessible to other people and departments.
