What does AFS 2003:3 "Work in explosive atmospheres" say about training

The Swedish work environment authority's regulations state that the employer is obligated to ensure that anyone in an explosive atmosphere or performing work that may affect explosion safety must receive training in, and have knowledge of, explosion risks and protective measures. Read more about AFS 2003:3 here!

The training requirement applies to all personnel, including operating, maintenance, and cleaning staff, as well as temporary visitors and contractors. For temporary visitors, a shorter safety briefing may be sufficient if they are accompanied by a guide.

Trainor's courses in ATEX and IECEx

Trainor offers several courses in ATEX and IECEx. From broader courses covering the ATEX directive to execution courses addressing professional roles and safe behavior in explosive atmospheres.

The courses covering the directive include our instructor-led ATEX - Grund available either as company-specific training tailored to your workplace or as an open enrollment session (live-streamed or on-site at our facilities) where participants from different workplaces can share and discuss their experiences. Our other broad course, ATEX - Grund, is text-based e-learning providing knowledge about safety requirements in risk areas, regulations and directives, and how to meet the requirements by following standards and handbooks.

ATEX för elektriker - Grundläggande, IECEx och ATEX märkning av elektrisk utrustning and Explosionsfarliga områden - Säkert beteende are all based on the ATEX directive, but these courses focus on behavior, safety, and understanding of work methods and risks rather than standards and clauses. The courses are animated and pedagogically designed to illustrate situations and events that may be difficult to convey in text.
