Australian Industry Group invites you to participate in the next Electrical Equipment Manufacturers and Suppliers Forum (EEMSF) Educative Session – Hazardous areas and intrinsically safe protection (Committees EL-014/EL-023).
Underground coal mines present unique safety challenges, where methane gas, coal dust and ignition sources can combine with devastating consequences. Understanding how intrinsically safe (Exi) protection systems prevent ignition is critical for engineers, designers, technicians and mining professionals working in hazardous environments.
About the session
This session examines the engineering controls, protection techniques and industry standards that help keep miners safe and prevent underground explosions.
The objective of this session is to transfer knowledge from standards development committees and strengthen understanding of how technical standards are structured, applied and interpreted in practice.
Presenters
What the session will cover
This session will focus on the foundational knowledge behind Intrinsically Safe Protection, including key concepts needed to control potential ignition sources, and how safety is addressed in coal mines.
Who Should Attend
This session is intended for mining engineers, electrical engineers, control system engineers, product safety professionals, maintenance managers, technical specialists, mining equipment manufacturers, compliance and regulatory personnel.
