摘要：Directive 2014/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council regulates the placing on the market of equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The importance of using explosion-proof equipment (certified in compliance with provisions of standards for electrical and non-electrical equipment) is crucial for avoiding catastrophic explosion-type events which may result in human victims, important material losses or may have significant consequences upon the environment. The current paper addresses a possible scenario of a pressure vessel explosion and the computational simulation and analysis of the dispersion of hazardous substances (toxic or explosive) released in the environment following the explosion-type event, in order to highlight the possible consequences. Such computational simulations may be of benefit for employers, who wish to take proactive measures in order to increase the occupational health and safety level within their activity. In this regard, results of computational simulations can be integrated by the companies in the development of emergency response plans, aiming at minimizing the hazardous effects of the releases of toxic/explosive gases upon the workers and surrounding atmosphere.
