Hazardous Area Classification

It all starts with knowing what substances are in your facility and how you are using them.

Our engineers and designers are fully equipped with the knowledge and experience on how to properly identify hazardous areas. When designing new facilities or processes—or rehabilitating existing ones—we can provide the basis and determination of classified zones to prevent unsafe conditions.

How our multi-discipline team can support you

Buildings and facilities are getting more complex, and there’s increased enforcement for codes and standards. Our hazardous area classification engineers and specialists can provide insight on risks, mitigation practices, codes, standards, and best practices when you’re dealing with facilities and buildings that have hazards (that require assessment and classifications).

• We can provide design criteria to address the areas of concern and provide best practices to support your needs.
• We can provide references, code reports, and proposed code compliance design support.
• We can review the safety data sheets (SDS) and product data to assess the need for hazardous area classification drawings and reports.
