Classify areas where flammable gas or vapour hazards may arise
KHU-ELT-0308
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to classify areas where flammable gas or vapour hazards 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 plant process and environmental conditions; and determining the extent of a potential release and documenting findings. Area classification should be carried out by those who understand the relevance and significance of properties of flammable materials (gas & vapours), and those who are familiar with the process and the equipment (refer AS/NZS60079.10.2). It applies to personnel involved in the front-end engineering and design (FE
