If you work in an industry where your business is at risk from potential explosive atmosphere, then you should be aware of the ATEX directive. The ATEX directive provides regulations to protect and safeguard employees in dangerous environments such as oil, gas, mining or chemical installations. ATEX approved radios are manufactured to very stringent requirements and high manufacturing standards to reduce or eliminate any risk of generating the tiniest spark as well as heat produced by the device. These ATEX radios are ideal for hazardous work with loud noise, long shifts, rough weather and dangerous conditions including combustible dust, explosive chemicals, gas leaks, flammable hydrocarbons and more.
