Podstawowe zagadnienia eksploatacji urządzeń elektrycznych w wykonaniu przeciwwybuchowym, a dokument zabezpieczenia przed wybuchem – zakres branży elektrycznej na przykładzie zakładu produkcyjnego PKN Orlen S.A. w Płocku

Maintenance process of electrical equipment in explosion-proof execution is one of the most important explosion protection issues in refinery, petrochemical and chemical industry. The paper presents basic concerns of Explosion Protection Document aspects, in scope of maintenance electrical equipment in explosion-proof execution. Based on experiences obtained during implementation Directives of European Parliament and the Council particularly Directive 1999/92/EC dedicated on minimum requirements for improving the safety and health protection of workers exposed potentially at risk explosive atmospheres, and their transposition into appropriate polish laws. This paper describes some electrical branch contributions to the Explosion Protection Document expressed on example of PKN ORLEN S.A. Main Production Unit. Pertained Polish laws, correlated technical standards published by Polish Committee for Standardization compose the background, on which modern approach to maintenance of electrical equipment in explosion-proof execution is in line with Responsible Care Card implementation and proceeding sustainable development.
