What We Do in Hazardous Areas

We work on sites where the risk is real, where flammable gas, vapors, or dust could be present, and where the job must be done right the first time.

  • Planning & Equipment

    We'll help you choose the right gear for your zone, whether that means explosion-protected fittings or intrinsically safe systems. We consider the classification, the cost, and what the job demands.

  • Installations

    We handle full installs and site upgrades. Our team follows safe work methods for hazardous environments and understands the rules around zones 0-2 and 20-22.

  • Inspections

    We carry out scheduled inspections to make sure everything's up to spec. If something's off, we'll flag it and fix it.

  • Paperwork

    We maintain proper records, including drawings, labels, photos, and supporting documents, so you're covered during audits or reviews.

  • Site Reviews

    If you're not sure how your site is zoned, we work with specialist consultants to help map it out properly before any work begins.

  • Compliance & Safety Training

    We provide specialised training to ensure your team follows safety and compliance standards in hazardous zones.

Hazardous Areas Explained

What Is a Hazardous Area?

Understanding Zones 0, 1, and 2 (Explosive Atmospheres) and Zones 20, 21, 22

A hazardous area refers to any environment where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dusts are present under normal or abnormal conditions. In New Zealand, the IEC Zone classification system is used to define risk levels.

  • Zone 0: Explosive gas atmosphere present continuously or for long periods
  • Zone 1: Likely to occur in normal operation
  • Zone 2: Not likely in normal operation, and if it does occur, it lasts only a short time

Dust zones:

  • Zone 20: Combustible dust present continuously or for long periods
  • Zone 21: Likely to occur in normal operation
  • Zone 22: Not likely in normal operation, and if it does occur, it persists briefly

These environments demand precise design, installation, and maintenance of all electrical systems to prevent ignition sources. Electrical safety is especially important when working in these zones. That's where we come in as specialised electrical contractors.

Whether you're operating a manufacturing facility, fuel storage site, or processing plant, having the right commercial electrician ensures compliance with New Zealand and international safety standards. Mistakes in hazardous zones aren't minor; they pose serious risks to people, property, and operations.
