Ex-Proof Materials and Regulations in Turkey

Abstract

Atmospheric Explosion is crucial point in occupational safety in modern industrilized economy. That is because ex-proof materials should be used in the explosive environments. Legistlation and governmental regulations aim to protect employees from explosions. In Turkey, this topic is an emerging issue in many sectors such as mine, metal, chemical and so on. In this research, we will not only present the structural building of ex-proof materials Technologies but also mandatory legistlations in Turkey by giving some statistical data. Current and future market share of ex-proof materials will be discussed. Some ex-proof materials and applications related with Soma accident is added here.
