A number of Stopford staff attended the recent HazardEx event held in Runcorn (2-3 March 2017). The event brought together industry members to discuss and share information on the prevention of explosion hazards in the workplace (ATEX/DSEAR/IECEx). During the 2 day event there were displays from suppliers of equipment for use in hazardous areas, which were visited by members of the Instrument and Electrical team. There was also a program of presentations around zoning and legal requirements, which members of our Process consultancy team attended to keep up to date with latest developments in the art, and as part of CPD.
