Classify areas where a combustible dust hazard may arise
KHU-ELT-0307
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to classify areas where explosive dust atmospheres and combustible dust layers may arise. It includes: applying area classification recommendations from relevant codes and standards to meet objectives, gathering and analysing data relative to potential explosion hazards, including characteristics of the hazardous materials; identifying and characterising sources of release; assessing dispersion and ventilation factors; considering housekeeping level; and determining the extent of the hazard and documenting findings. Area classification should be carried out by those who understand the relevance and significance of properties of flammable materials (dust), and those who are familiar with the process and the equipment (refer AS/NZS60079.10.2). This unit applies to personnel involved in the front-end engineering and design (FEED) scopes f
