Continuous Training, Accreditations and Insurance Policies

We are one of a limited number of electrical contractors with the appropriate training, accreditations and insurance policies to work in hazardous areas. Alongside our electrical installation accreditation with SELECT, we are also approved to work in hazardous areas.

As well as petrol filling stations we have carried out electrical installations in distilleries for gin and rum brands at their respective sites.

What is ATEX Certification?

ATEX stands for ATmosphère EXplosibles for defining environments where an atmospheric explosion hazard existed.

ATEX Approval is required for equipment that is to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.  Generally speaking, these hazardous areas are found in the oil & gas but can occur virtually anywhere, when the processes and/or circumstances allow.

The basic principle of the certification is that any equipment we uese in potentially explosive atmospheres must not form a source of ignition, or pose a Health & Safety threat to workers, employees, or property.  Such equipment must meet design specifications.
