The education and training of staff implementing Ex protection measures is one of the most important links in the chain of ensuring complete and effective Ex protection. Experience, unfortunately, shows that inadequate staff education and training in Ex protection is one of the most common causes of plant accidents.
Furthermore, in accordance with Article 7 of the Regulations on Minimum Safety Requirements and Workers Health Protection and Technical Supervision of Plants, Equipment, Installations and Apparatus in Hazardous Areas, the “Official gazette” No. 39/06 and 106/07, the employer must ensure that all workers and responsible persons are educated and trained in accordance with the requirements of this Regulations.
