The SafeHouse Habitat is Ex / ATEX certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres - Zones 1 + 2.

Our range of optional independent gas detection and shutdown systems can enhance the fixed systems already in place.

Our in-line air supply gas sensing module, (GSM), is ATEX approved for use in zone 1 and 2.

The GSM is designed to ensure that under normal operating conditions ambient air being taken from a ducted air supply into a working area is free from flammable gases before start and during operations. The GSM has a gas sensor fitted at the inlet of the unit and if flammable gas level reaches 10% of the lower explosion limit of the relevant gas the GSM automatically closes a damper, illuminates a flashing beacon and sounds an alarm to indicate the presence of a potentially explosive atmosphere.

The GSM is rated at up to 110-240V a.c., 200W and is marked; Ex II 2 G Ex d e ia m IIB T4 (Tamb -20°C to + 50°C)

Safehouse Habitats (Scotland) ltd. are committed to making hot work in hazardous areas as safe as possible.
To that aim, everything we do, from our involvement with Operators and Contractors at the work planning stage to maintaining the integrity of constructed habitats, is with the safety of our Technicians, platform/plant personnel and equipment as our first and foremost concern.

We have a robust Safety Management System in place and are committed to continual improvement of our already excellent safety record.

We use checklists and procedures at every stage of habitat construction and have a comprehensive, formal risk assessment system.
