Sira Test and Certification has formed an alliance to offer a one-stop shop facility for customers who are manufacturing electrical equipment for use in hazardous areas.
Sira will provide the questionnaire to companies who can then distribute it to relevant sections of their workforce to ensure that their working knowledge of hazardous area procedures is of the required standard.
This is particularly important with regard to the recently introduced ATEX Directive.
The questionnaire itself is divided into four sections, each intended to be completed by different levels of staff: process operators, management, instrument and electrical technicians, and instrument and electrical designers and supervisors.
The questionnaire is designed to give an indication of the knowledge of both the individual groups and the workforce as a whole.
The topics covered include: zones, legislation, product markings, and the ATEX Directive.
Once the questionnaire has been completed it can be returned to Sira which will grade it and collate the results.
Sira can then relay the results to the company and inform them in which areas there is any deficiency of knowledge.
Sira Test and Certification is accredited to certify to the ATEX Directive, and offers support, training and certification services to companies who are not currently compliant.
