Objective

Since 1 July 2003, Directive 94/9/EC applies exclusively within the European Union to equipment and protective systems for designated use in potentially explosive areas. Directive 94/9/EC foregoes the national provisions in favour of a standardized and far-reaching safety standard. The fact that the same law applies in all member states means that trade restrictions are eliminated and the same safety standard markings must be implemented across the board. The safety objectives is defined in the directive. In addition to Directive 94/9/EC for the properties and characteristics of equipment, operators must also observe Directive 1999/92/EC on the safety of employees po-tentially at risk from explosive atmospheres. The event aims to bring people together to discuss the meaning of these European directives and provide support for their implementation in the member countries of the European Union. The focus is chiefly on:

• The prevention of and protection against explosions
• The assessment of the potential risk of explosions
• The duty to coordinate
• Risk assessment
• How the latest research results are put into practice

Venue

Franz Patat Auditorium in DECHEMA House (directly accessible from Theodor-Heuss-Allee 25 or  from the exhibition grounds)

Translation

All the lectures and discussions will be simultaneously translated into German, English and French.

In conjunction with the Workshop:

The BG Chemie exhibition stand in Hall 4.1, Stand 020-P24

The stand topic is “We combine skills-explosion protection in focus”. It provides additional details on information from the ISSA Workshop:

• Experimental lecture
• Discussion forums
• Opening of the new explosion protection portal
• Quiz
• Tour of the exhibition stand with information on the latest exhibits, video feature, information sheetc. Etc.

High-ranking representatives from industry, trade unions, institutes for statutory accident insurance and preven-tion, the authorities and scientific organizations will take part in the discussion forums.

The latest information and detailed schedule are available on the Internet at www.exinfo.de and www.bgchemie.de
