Our ATEX courses are based on two EU directives that describe the minimum safety requirements for workplaces and equipment used in explosive atmospheres. Norway adheres to this legislation through the EFTA cooperation.

In Norway, the competence requirements of the authorities are specified in the following regulations: "Regulations on health and safety in explosive atmospheres." Maritime sector: Sdir: Maritime Safety Act, ASH, RSV 4-22. Petroleum sector: SFS recommendation. Land-based: Working Environment Act, DSB guidance.

In 2023, the authorities published guidelines for the "Regulations on health and safety in explosive atmospheres." The guidelines emphasize the importance of proper training and the need for documentation. With our courses, you can ensure that your company gains the knowledge required to operate according to the updated regulations.
