Regulations
EU directive 1992/99/EC (HSE in Ex areas) requires the employer to draw up and maintain an explosion protection document. This document must contain, among other things, a risk assessment, zone map and documentation that all employees who will enter Ex areas have received sufficient and suitable training in explosion protection. In all EU and EEA countries, this must be implemented in the national legislation.
In Norway, this is introduced as a regulatory requirement in: "Regulations on health and safety in explosive atmospheres" often called "FHOSEX".
In the Petroleum Act, there is also a requirement that one has competence: Section 9-7. Qualifications
