Ex for mechanics - ignition-source control

Having completed the course, participants will have gained a good understanding of the following:

• Knowledge of legislation applying to the prevention of explosions caused by non-electrical equipment.
• Know the requirements applying to different types of equipment and how to avoid/reduce the probability of an ignition source developing.
