Training Coordinator, Industrial Paint Manufacturer
“The safety induction for new hires was handled smoothly. Elion brought their own AV equipment and kept the session engaging. We’re thinking of repeating this monthly.”
Static Electricity and Explosion Hazard Training
Why Static Electricity Training Is Critical in Industrial Safety?
In flammable atmospheres, a small static discharge can trigger a massive explosion. Whether you are handling solvents, powders, flammable gases, or operating in ATEX zones, understanding the risk of static electricity and explosion hazards is crucial. This training ensures your team knows how to identify, prevent, and mitigate these invisible risks.
Tailored Training as per Your Process and Hazardous Zones
Elion delivers site-specific static hazard training, covering your materials, grounding systems, hazardous area classification, and process operations. We highlight ignition sources, bonding failures, and process conditions that increase risk.
Key Objectives of the Static Electricity & Explosion Hazard Training
- To raise awareness of static charge buildup and its hazards
- To train workers on grounding, bonding, and electrostatic discharge (ESD) control
- To reduce fire and explosion risks during flammable product handling
- To align operations with IS, IEC, and NFPA standards for hazardous locations
- To build response capability in case of ignition incidents
Course Topics Covered
- What is static electricity and how it accumulates in industrial processes
- Common ignition scenarios in powder handling, solvent transfers, mixing operations
- Classification of hazardous zones (ATEX/IS 5572) and ignition sources
- Earthing, bonding, and ESD protection measures
- Safe tank cleaning, loading/unloading, and solvent use
- Role of humidity, flow rate, and material resistivity in static charge buildup
- Use of intrinsically safe equipment
- Explosion case studies and lessons learned
- Testing methods for static charge, resistivity, and continuity
- Any other site-specific topics or procedures as per client requirements
Who Should Attend?
- Operators working with flammable liquids, powders, or gases
- EHS and process safety professionals
- Warehouse and tanker loading staff
- Maintenance teams handling grounded equipment
- Electrical engineers working in ATEX areas

Client Testimonial
EHS Officer, Specialty Chemicals Unit
“Good response from our team for the chemical spill drill and awareness session. We had a minor leak last year and this training was timely. They even explained the MSDS sheet details clearly.”
HR Coordinator, Shared Services Office
“Elion conducted ergonomics training for our office support staff. They gave tips that don’t need any budget—just posture, breaks, and seating angles. Everyone found it useful.”
Logistics Supervisor, FMCG Warehouse
“Warehouse safety training was organized at our distribution center. The module covered stacking, material flow, and emergency handling. One or two team leads found the content basic, but the newcomers appreciated it.”
Site Incharge, Metro Rail Project
“The hot work and gas cutting safety training helped us address some recent near-misses. Our fabrication contractors said it was the first time anyone explained why permits matter, not just how to fill them.”
HR Manager, Corporate Insurance Firm
“We held a training on ergonomics and workstation safety. Elion’s speaker had a practical approach—suggested small furniture changes and posture tips that didn’t cost much but helped our office staff.”
Plant Head, Frozen Foods Facility
“Elion covered cold storage safety and ammonia handling well. Some of our technicians said it was the first time they understood how to respond to leaks. We may request them for a follow-up drill.”
HR Officer, Apparel Manufacturing Unit
“Our garment unit required machine safety awareness for new joiners. Elion kept it interactive and used visuals from our own plant, which the workers related to.”
Operations Manager, Steel Trading Yard
“The crane and material handling training helped reduce near misses in our yard. The trainer also gave tips that were not in the slides, based on their field experience. That made a difference.”
Admin Manager, IT Park
“We requested a training module on emergency evacuation procedures. Elion included site-specific examples which helped. The mock drill later was well-coordinated too. Our fire wardens felt more confident after the session.”
