On-Demand Webinar: Avoid Over Zoning on
Hazardous Area Classification (HAC)
10:00am (EDT) Thursday June 13, 2024
A Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) classifies an operational area based primarily on the likelihood of the presence of a flammable atmosphere (the combination of a fuel in oxidant (typically air). HAC is a necessary starting point for process risk assessments because, without it, you cannot identify potential ignition sources within your hazardous zones.
This webinar will provide an understanding of:
- How to identify and classify hazardous zones for dusts and gases in your processing operations
- How to effectively select equipment via proactive (rather than blanket) zoning to achieve better ROI
- How to use zonal information i.e., EPL, Ga or Da, Gb or Db, and of Gc or Dc to ensure that the equipment you have selected is suitable for your operations
This webinar is best for:
- Technical Managers
- HSE/EHS Managers
- Process/Technical/Safety Engineers
- Process Hazard Analysts
- EHS Engineers/Coordinators
