Intrinsically Safe Equipment

For any industrial equipment used in hazardous environments, it is essential to ensure they are intrinsically safe to prevent any injuries and explosions. AA device is inherently safe and suitable for hazardous areas if its output energy is too low to cause ignition. A work environment with inherent risks will be made all the more dangerous by the devices and equipment on site.

A wide range of industrial equipment from flashlights, cameras, gas detectors and radios are available in intrinsically safe forms. Inherently secure devices can offer productivity and safety benefits to your work processes without adding to pre-existing hazards. Choose Nome Tunnelling Services for cost-effective, reliable, and robust solutions for inherently safe equipment used in hazardous civil and industrial environments.

How Intrinsically Safe Equipment Works

Intrinsically safe tools include a wide range of items from smartphones, tablets, torches, gas detectors, cameras, and other weight and pressure measurement instruments. Even when an intrinsically safe device is damaged, the unit won’t be able to produce heat or sparks that can cause explosions. This is due to how inherently safe designs minimize power and heat creation. Each piece of equipment must be independently certified, and the entire system it belongs to must be designed to intrinsic safety standards before they’re serviceable.

The costs of intrinsically safe devices mainly lie in getting and maintaining their certification rather than their essential components. Instead, complete documentation of all members is required to certify an inherently safe product. Adopting an intrinsically safe design includes simplifying installation, financial savings, enabling maintenance on live equipment, and the most crucial objective—a safer workplace.

The Importance of Maintenance For Intrinsically Safe Equipment

Nome Services prioritizes your safety, providing an end-to-end service for your intrinsically safe products from installation to regular maintenance. An inherently secure system needs complete documentation of all its components and wiring. Immediately after installation, there will be a mandatory inspection followed by periodic inspection throughout the life of the intrinsically safe equipment. These inspections aim to identify any damage or deterioration that may occur within the product’s life. Additionally, it ensures there aren’t any unapproved or unauthorized replacements made to intrinsically safe system components.

Protect Your People and Property With Nome Services

As industrial and chemical environments have significant explosion risks, it’s essential to implement controls in hazardous workplaces. While it isn’t possible to eliminate the presence of flammable gases, vapors, dust or fibers in your processes, it is possible to design systems that eliminate the possibility of any accidents. It’s where intrinsic safety comes in, preventing the ignition of any flammable material in your surrounding environments. Innate safety design principles allow the operation of non-negotiable electrical instruments in these areas.
