Our Solutions
Identify, assess and mitigate risk from fire and explosion incidents for downstream industrial and domestic use within the paintings and coatings industry
Althouhg there has been a growth in aqueous-based coatings systems rather than solvent based systems, solvents are prone to unique hazards that pose serious fire and explosion risk
Explosion protection measures include containment, explosion venting and/or suppression. A basis of safety should be correctly implemented per equipment
Knowing how often, when and where explosible vapours and dusts may be generated which can mix with air to produce an explosive atmosphere – this is known as the Hazardous Area Classification which determines a risk based zone
An ignition source may be hot surfaces, electrostatic discharges or open flames. It is important to test and understand the potential electrical charge of all of these key areas, equipment (earthing & extraction) and materials.
Your process safety partner of choice
Sigma-HSE provides actionable safety solutions to the paints & coatings industry by eliminating the threat of fire and explosion regarding hazardous products and materials for downstream industrial and domestic use.
Our team of global engineers and technical experts can implement a range of process safety consultancy, testing and training solutions across your business.
Many paint materials and their by-products are highly flammable. They require specialist risk assessments to prevent combustion, prevent leakage and mitigate potential fire hazards
Painting and coating products require ventilation systems. The correct design of vapour and dust removal system in a facility can help prevent the build-up of explosive atmosphere
Use our range of specialist expertise to effectively undertake hazardous area classification’s. Ensure safety and save money by correctly placing your equipment in suitable hazardous zones
Ensure that your materials are tested for fire and explosivity if you are unaware about the potential explosive chemical properties and the potential hazards of your materials
