Working environments that contain explosive gases or dust are extremely volatile environments. All it takes is a single spark to cause an explosion. As part of the safety measures that you put in place to prevent explosions and to ensure safety if an explosion should occur, you should include explosion proof lighting. A range of lights are available that are considered explosion proof lighting because they prevent any possible ignition sources from being exposed to the air.

 

Lights are a common cause of explosion ignition. Low energy light fittings can help to prevent explosions because they do not produce enough energy to ignite source materials. This intrinsically safe equipment, though, can sometimes provide low quality lighting. Alternatively, it is possible to implement explosion proof lighting from Hilclare which effectively contains any ignition source. This still prevents explosions but offers better quality lighting.

 

Where employees are expected to work in areas that pose an explosion risk, it is vital that you provide as much protection as possible. The appropriate lighting systems and fittings help you meet your obligations and protect your employees, your equipment, and your business from damage. Contact Hilclare today to discuss your specific requirements and we will guide you in choosing the most appropriate equipment for your needs.
