EXPLOSION SAFETY & HAZARDOUS AREAS
Explosion Risk Assessment & ATEX Support in Nigeria
Explosion risk assessment and ATEX support in Nigeria for combustible dust, flammable gas and vapour: ignition-hazard review, workplace explosion safety and EPD preparation support.
WHAT WE CAN SUPPORT
Defined scope.
Useful outcomes.
Our approach organises the technical basis, assumptions, site evidence and review trail required for defensible explosion-safety and hazardous-area decisions.
Hazardous-area classification support
Release-source and ventilation evidence
Ignition-hazard review and control recommendations
Ex equipment nameplate and certification evidence review
Explosion Protection Document preparation support
Classification drawings, schedules and review records
Evidence gaps, action tracking and specialist sign-off coordination
DELIVERY & COMPETENCE BOUNDARY
Right expertise.
Clear accountability.
ATEX support describes the agreed assessment framework; it is not a claim of ATEX certification or statutory approval. Final technical conclusions, equipment suitability and protection measures require adequate evidence and appropriately competent specialist review.
OUR APPROACH
Rigorous enough to defend.
Practical enough to use.
Every assignment is scoped around the decision, risk and evidence involved. We are explicit about assumptions, limitations and where specialist or statutory approval remains necessary.
Establish the technical basis
Gather process, material, release, ventilation, layout and operating information before drawing conclusions.
Apply the right framework
Structure the assessment against relevant standards and project requirements, with assumptions and limitations recorded.
Retain accountable review
Keep specialist conclusions, classification and technical sign-off under appropriately competent professional control.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Clear answers before the work begins.
Does WilTrace perform hazardous-area classification?+
WilTrace supports hazardous-area assessment and classification workflows. Final classification and technical sign-off depend on adequate evidence, the agreed scope and review by an appropriately competent person.
Which standards may be considered?+
Depending on the hazard and jurisdiction, work may reference relevant parts of IEC 60079, EI guidance and other applicable project or regulatory requirements. The correct basis is confirmed for each assignment.
Can software decide the hazardous zone automatically?+
No. WEXASphere can structure information, calculations, evidence and review, but software does not replace competent engineering judgement or statutory responsibility.
What is the difference between hazardous-area classification and explosion risk assessment?+
Hazardous-area classification addresses where explosive atmospheres may occur and the classification basis. Explosion risk assessment also considers ignition hazards, credible scenarios and prevention or protection measures. Both require adequate evidence and competent review; one does not automatically complete the other.
Can you support combustible-dust explosion assessment in food-processing plants?+
The scope can address dust-generating activities in sugar, grain and other food-processing operations, including material information, deposits, releases, ignition hazards and existing controls. Dust testing and protection-system design require suitable specialist inputs; they are not inferred from appearance or routine housekeeping records.
