Hazardous Areas
We are CompEx accredited to work in ATEX areas.Environments with gaseous elements or those that create dust (e.g. food manufacturing, sawmills, flour mills, concrete and building products manufacture) are classed as ATEX areas (potentially Explosive Atmospheres). AES is one of a small number of electrical contracting businesses qualified to work in such environments under CompEx accreditation.
Protecting your business
Accidents in an ATEX area can sadly lead to fatalities. Working with a CompEx accredited partner such as AES ensures that you are doing everything possible to protect your staff and mitigate risk. Working with AES on projects within these hazardous areas is a best practice approach to preventing serious incidents. We provide a professional service with a full audit trail to ensure that the correct precautions are followed, in line with health and safety guidelines and regulation.

CompEx is a recognised worldwide training and assessment scheme to ensure that those working in hazardous or explosive environments, whether on land or offshore, are fully trained and competent. The name CompEx refers to Competency working in Explosive environments. CompEx accreditation is essential for working within these hazardous areas – it protects staff and contractors working on-site and protects your company’s assets (such as buildings and equipment). Businesses operating in these fields can often benefit from lower insurance costs as a result of working with a CompEx accredited partner.
