ATEX equipment inspection

Legislation Framework

When industrial facilities handle or store flammable substances (e.g Chemical and Oil & Gas industry or facilities with combustible dusts or hybrid mixtures), the elimination of any source of ignition is a major and critical condition for ensuring Safety.

Radiation Protection services

 

Radiation Protection services provided by Ergonomia concern businesses that lie within the scope of the (Greek) Radiation Protection Regulation (Presidential Decree 101/18, Government’s Gazette 194/Α/20-11-2018), which in paragraph 1 of article 2 requires that (following is a translation from the original text of the PD that is based on the text of Directive 2013/59/Euratom):

Lock out - Tag out - Try out (LOTOTO)

The Lock Out – Tag Out process allows us to safely isolate and mark the isolation point of energy source of a machine or of an installation (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc.), to eliminate the risk of unexpected start up or energization. The above procedure should always precede maintenance. Ergonomia provides comprehensive services for LOTOTO "tailor made" procedures, both for production lines as well as individual parts of equipment.

Arc Flash Assessment

Arc flash is a dangerous condition associated with the release of huge amount of energy caused by an electrical arc (NFPA 70E - the relevant standard from the National Fire Protection Association)

The escalation of an Arc Flash incident comes out as an Arc Blast

Inspections of Electrical Installations - Declaration of Licensed Electrician (YDE)

According to Greek legislation and in order to ensure and maintain the reliability and safety of Electrical Installations, initial and periodical inspections shall be conducted. The inspections must be carried out taking into consideration the technical requirements of legislation of the period that the electrical installation or parts of it were constructed and energized, as well as other safety related requirements.

Infrared Thermography

Thermography is a well-established and safe technique of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) for electromechanical equipment, electrical panels and installations.

It is a modern diagnostic method for preventing and detecting faults of mechanical and electrical equipment.

PAT Testing

Importance and purpose of PAT Testing:

PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) is related with inspections applied on portable electrical devices and equipment, to ensure that they are safe for use.
