Confined Space – Definitions (Rule 3)
● Confined spacesInclude areas closed in on all sides or predominantly enclosed by fixed walls and areas that are less susceptible to air exchange, in which there are or may be special hazards due to their confined space or substances, impurities or equipment contained within them. Pits, silos, shafts or ducts are to be considered confined spaces if the occurrence of hazardous substances or lack of oxygen cannot be safely excluded.
● EnteringEntering is understood as all activities/work with which the worker stays in the tanks, silos or confined space.
* Maintenance, service and cleaning work or troubleshooting
Confined space usually have the following characteristics:
● They are not designed for the constant presence of humans,
● There are only a limited number of inlet and outlet openings,

For all employees at Mondi Frantschach, including temporary employees, visitors, technicians,
suppliers and also serves as supporting evidence for the recurrent training.
Please note:
Some of our products go into the food industry, which requires a high level on the cleanliness
and hygiene of the product, and also to the production itself.
For this reason, certain rules have to be followed in following production areas , which are
particularly critical for the product

Hygiene area 1 und Hygiene area 2
Hygiene area 1
At the Wood yard and in the Pulp mill, there is no potential for risk in terms of
product hygiene because it is a closed circle.

VEXAT Regulations for explosive atmospheres
06 May 2019
Klaus Dobrovz
Legal bases VEXAT (BGBl. II no. 309/2004)
What is the Vexat regulation?
● The Vexat (Explosive Atmospheres regulation) is a decree of the Federal Minister of Economics and Labor on the protection of workers against potentially explosive atmospheres.
To whom does the VEXAT regulation apply?
● Any company that produces explosive gases, vapors, mists or dusts in workplaces in mixture with air or processes, handles, stores, provides or works with internal or explosive liquids.
The VEXAT regulation includes in particular
● Primary, secondary and tertiary explosion protection measures as well as requirements for electrical equipment and objects in potentially explosive atmospheres
PAGE 54
Explosive atmospheres – potentially explosive areas
An explosive atmosphere is a mixture of air or other oxidative atmosphere and
combustible gas, vapor, mist or dust in which the combustion process transfers to
the entire unburned mixture after ignition.
PAGE 55
Explosive atmospheres liquids & gases
Although the precise calculation of the size of an explosive atmosphere
is complicated, you can calculate a rough guide value using a simple formula:
The amount of flammable liquid in liters x 5000
is the approximate size of the explosive atmosphere
Example
• 0.1 l liquid * 5000 = 500 l explosive atmosphere
Experience has shown that an atmosphere of 10 liters is sufficient
to seriously injure a person!
Escaped or spilled flammable liquids must be cleaned up immediately!
PAGE 56
● When mixed with air and in a whirled-up form, flammable dust may form explosive mixtures.
● 1 mm of dust can cause an explosive atmosphere!
● Cleaning plants or plant parts, machines, etc., with compressed air is prohibited!
Explosive atmospheres dust

Before working in EX areas, the explosion protection document with the
specified protection areas and protective measures must be followed!
