Grounding and Bonding Handbook Highlights Static Electricity Control in Hazardous Areas
A new handbook on grounding and bonding practices has been released to support operators managing static electricity risks in hazardous area environments.
According to Newson Gale, the Grounding & Bonding Applications Handbook is designed to provide practical information on controlling electrostatic hazards in operations where explosive atmospheres may be present. The company stated that the resource includes application guidance as well as information related to regulatory and standards compliance.
For end users working in hazardous area operations, the handbook may serve as a reference for understanding requirements tied to the ATEX Worker Protection Directive, the ATEX Equipment Directive, and the IEC 60079 standards series. These frameworks govern worker safety, equipment use, and protective systems in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts may create ignition risks.
Newson Gale also reported that the handbook includes certification information for its grounding and bonding safety systems across several international markets, along with details related to the company’s quality certifications.
The handbook is available online in flipbook format and is intended for operators, engineers, and safety professionals involved in hazardous area compliance and electrostatic risk management.
