About the ATEX risk assessment template

When working in environments with explosive atmospheres, it’s critical to conduct thorough risk assessments. This ATEX risk assessment template guides you and your team in standardizing your safety evaluations and improving compliance. With this template, you can quickly identify hazardous zones, spot potential ignition sources, and record the control measures you have in place. 

Why you should use the ATEX risk assessment template 

An ATEX risk assessment template allows you to save time and reduces the chance of missing a critical step. Instead of starting from scratch or scrambling together old reports, you follow a clear structure that walks you the process, from zone classifications to ignition sources and control measures.

This template keep your documentation consistent across teams and locations. That means fewer gaps, easier audits, and better coordination between safety managers, engineers, and contractors.

You can also update the template as your site changes, so it grows with your operations. Whether you’re onboarding a new site or reviewing existing safety plans, the template helps you focus on managing the actual risk rather than worrying about formatting. 

How to use the ATEX risk assessment template

Here’s a quick guide to maximizing the template:

  1. Customize the template to fit your facility: Start by editing the template in the Lumiform app to reflect your site’s layout and specific zones. Add or remove sections depending on whether you’re dealing with gas, vapor, or dust hazards. This step helps you adapt the template to your actual working conditions.
  2. Fill it out during your site walkthrough: Use a mobile device to complete the assessment on-site. Walk through each ATEX zone, identify potential ignition sources, and evaluate control measures in real time. The mobile form allows you to capture photos and notes directly into the checklist.
  3. Assign responsibilities: Once you’ve identified risks, create follow-up action tasks within the app. Assign tasks to relevant team members. For example, an engineer for grounding issues or a safety officer for missing signage.
  4. Track and monitor progress: Use the dashboard to monitor which risks have been addressed and which are still pending. You’ll also see trends over time, like recurring issues in certain areas or zones needing more frequent updates.
  5. Share and report instantly: Export completed checklists or share them automatically with your HSE manager, safety team, or auditors. The standardized format makes your documentation easier to read, store, and reference later.

Standardize how your team assesses risk

Get your ATEX risk assessments in order with a professional tool designed to support safe operations in hazardous environments. This template gives you a clear way to document hazards, track follow-ups, and assign responsibilities. With built-in logic and task assignments, it’s easier to stay compliant and keep risk communication precise across teams.

Frequently asked questions

Who is responsible for conducting an ATEX risk assessment?

Typically, a safety manager, site engineer, or designated ATEX compliance officer is responsible, depending on your company’s structure. They must understand both the technical and legal aspects of explosive atmospheres. It’s also a good idea to involve team members who work directly in hazardous zones, since they often spot overlooked hazards.

How do ATEX zones affect maintenance planning?

ATEX zones impact when and how maintenance is done. For example, you may need to use intrinsically safe tools in Zone 1 or temporarily shut down operations to perform maintenance safely. Scheduling must factor in zoning restrictions and whether permits to work (PTWs) or gas testing are required before any tasks begin.

What’s the difference between a DSEAR and an ATEX assessment?

ATEX focuses on equipment and protective systems used in explosive atmospheres within the EU. DSEAR is UK-specific, and it covers broader workplace risks from flammable substances, including storage and handling. If you operate in the UK, you’ll likely need to comply with DSEAR, but ATEX certification may still apply to imported equipment.
