HAZARDOUS AREA SAFETY<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Classified or hazardous areas – zones where flammable gases, vapours or combustible dust may be present – demand extra discipline around cables, hoses and portable equipment on the floor. A loose cable or an unsecured tool is a bigger risk here than almost anywhere else on site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Classified or hazardous areas – around process units, tank farms, well pads and other zones where flammable atmospheres may occur – carry every ordinary housekeeping risk plus a much higher consequence if that risk turns into an ignition source or an emergency-response obstruction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Temporary cables, hoses and portable equipment brought in for maintenance or turnaround work still have to cross these zones. Left loose on the ground, they become trip hazards in an area where a fall or a dropped tool carries added risk, and where emergency egress routes must stay completely clear.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In a classified area, a clear emergency egress route is not just good housekeeping – it is often a specific, auditable requirement. Temporary cable and hose runs that cross a designated route need to be raised, guarded or routed around it, not just left flat on the ground.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

CableSafe cable ramps and guards are designed for quick installation and removal by the maintenance crew itself, so egress routes stay clear throughout a turnaround or outage, not just at the start and end.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Westmark B.V., trading as CableSafe, has supplied industrial safety hardware since 1991. Our cable and dropped-objects equipment is built for the pace of a shutdown or turnaround, where hundreds of temporary cable runs go in and out over a matter of days.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
