Why Hazardous Area Inspections Are Critical
Hazardous locations require routine inspection because:
-

-
Environmental exposure may damage components
Even certified explosion proof equipment can become unsafe if not properly maintained.
Regular hazardous location inspections help:
✔ Prevent ignition risks
✔ Avoid regulatory fines
✔ Protect personnel
✔ Reduce downtime
✔ Maintain insurance compliance
