The calculation of a company’s carbon footprint enables organizations to monitor, assess, and reduce their environmental impact, ensuring compliance with the Greek Climate Law (Law 4936/2022) while enhancing thesustainability of their operations.
It is generally common in industry, to proceed into machinery upgrades and modifications, to extend its lifetime or due to alternations into the production demand.
These upgrades may include:
Prevention or risk reduction of a hazardous situation or condition is usually accomplished nowadays using automation solutions (safety control system). The components which form the safety control system are called safety relative parts (SRP’s) and their proper and continuous operation should be ensured.
The user of machinery (company) and the manufacturer are obligated to provide all the necessary information regarding its safe operation. According to P.D. 395/1994 & P.D. 57/2010 (EU Directives 2010/42/EC & 2009/104/EC respectively) machinery should be equipped with the appropriate safety signs (labels), informing the users for unsafe situations, areas and equipment.
The labels shall:
Instructions for use are required for the machinery’s CE marking, and its safe use, according to Greek legislation (P.D. 57/2010, P.D. 395/94) and European Directives (EU Directives 2010/42/EC & 2009/104/EC respectively).
During the compilation of the "Explosion Protection Document" study, it is not rare that the spread or existence of explosive gases may capture extensive field areas. These areas are characterized as “Hazardous Areas” or “ATEX Zones". This is particularly the case for confined spaces where the prevailing ventilation conditions are characterized as 'inadequate' or 'unacceptable', since they cannot provide the necessary sweep of clean air into the space to safely and quickly remove the hazardous gas concentrations generated.
