Regulation 6(8)

SCHEDULE 1

GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES

1.  The following measures are those specified for the purposes of regulation 6(8).

WORKPLACE AND WORK PROCESSES

2.  Ensuring that the workplace is designed, constructed and maintained so as to reduce risk.

3.  Designing, constructing, assembling, installing, providing and using suitable work processes so as to reduce risk.

4.  Maintaining work processes in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.

5.  Ensuring that equipment and protective systems meet the following requirements –

(a)where power failure can give rise to the spread of additional risk, equipment and protective systems must be able to be maintained in a safe state of operation independently of the rest of the plant in the event of power failure;

(b)means for manual override must be possible, operated by employees competent to do so, for shutting down equipment and protective systems incorporated within automatic processes which deviate from the intended operating conditions, provided that the provision or use of such means does not compromise safety;

(c)on operation of emergency shutdown, accumulated energy must be dissipated as quickly and as safely as possible or isolated so that it no longer constitutes a hazard; and

(d)necessary measures must be taken to prevent confusion between connecting devices.

ORGANISATIONAL MEASURES

6.  The application of appropriate systems of work including –

(a)the issuing of written instructions for the carrying out of the work; and

(b)a system of permits to work with such permits being issued by a person with responsibility for this function prior to the commencement of the work concerned,

where the work is carried out in hazardous places or involves hazardous activities.

Regulation 7(1)

SCHEDULE 2(which substantially reproduces the provisions of Annex I of Council Directive 99/92/EC(1))CLASSIFICATION OF PLACES WHERE EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES MAY OCCUR

Places where explosive atmospheres may occur

1.  A place in which an explosive atmosphere may occur in such quantities as to require special precautions to protect the health and safety of the workers concerned is deemed to be hazardous within the meaning of these Regulations.

A place in which an explosive atmosphere is not expected to occur in such quantities as to require special precautions is deemed to be non-hazardous within the meaning of these Regulations.

Classification of hazardous places

2.  Hazardous places are classified in terms of zones on the basis of the frequency and duration of the occurrence of an explosive atmosphere.

  • Zone 0

    A place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of dangerous substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is present continuously or for long periods or frequently.

  • Zone 1

    A place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of dangerous substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is likely to occur in normal operation occasionally.

  • Zone 2

    A place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of dangerous substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur, will persist for a short period only.

  • Zone 20

    A place in which an explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air is present continuously, or for long periods or frequently.

  • Zone 21

    A place in which an explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air is likely to occur in normal operation occasionally.

  • Zone 22

    A place in which an explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air is not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur, will persist for a short period only.

Notes:

1.  Layers, deposits and heaps of combustible dust must be considered as any other source which can form an explosive atmosphere.

2.  “Normal operation” means the situation when installations are used within their design parameters.

Regulation 7(2)

SCHEDULE 3CRITERIA FOR THE SELECTION OF EQUIPMENT AND PROTECTIVE SYSTEMS

1.  Equipment and protective systems for all places in which explosive atmospheres may occur must be selected on the basis of the requirements set out in the Equipment and Protective Systems Intended for Use in Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996(2) unless the risk assessment finds otherwise.

2.  In particular, the following categories of equipment must be used in the zones indicated, provided they are suitable for gases, vapours, mists, dusts or mists and dusts, as appropriate:

  • in zone 0 or zone 20, category 1 equipment,

  • in zone 1 or zone 21, category 1 or 2 equipment,

  • in zone 2 or zone 22, category 1, 2 or 3 equipment.

3.  For the purposes of this Schedule and regulation 7(2) and 17(1) –

“equipment” means machines, apparatus, fixed or mobile devices, control components and instrumentation thereof and detection or prevention systems which, separately or jointly, are intended for the generation, transfer, storage, measurement, control and conversion of energy and the processing of material, as the case may be, and which are capable of causing an explosion through their own potential sources of ignition;

“protective systems” means devices other than components of equipment which are intended to halt incipient explosions immediately or limit the effective range of an explosion or both, as the case may be, and which systems are separately placed on the market for use as autonomous systems;

“devices” means safety devices, controlling devices and regulating devices intended for use outside potentially explosive atmospheres but required for or contributing to the safe functioning of equipment and protective systems with respect to the risks of explosion;

“component” means any item essential to the safe functioning of equipment and protective systems but with no autonomous function; and

“potentially explosive atmosphere” means an atmosphere which could become explosive due to local and operational conditions.

Regulation 7(3)

SCHEDULE 4(which substantially reproduces the provisions of Annex III of Council Directive 99/92/EC)WARNING SIGN FOR PLACES WHERE EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES MAY OCCUR

Distinctive features:

(a)triangular shape;

(b)black letters on a yellow background with black edging (the yellow part to take up at least 50% of the area of the sign).
