Materials and technical equipment, especially their external parts, are inherently subjected to the electrification process during use. The of materials parts non-conductive ones, is responsible for generation, through specific mechanisms, significant amounts electrostatic charges. charges generated as a result on equipment used in Ex., environments constitute risk, namely occurrence discharges which presence an explosive atmosphere can produce explosion and/or fire. Consequently, work aims identify establish organizational methods, respectively essential safety health requirements applicable intended use with atmospheres, application allows elimination risk consequently reduction acceptable level
