In many branches of the industry, there is painting processes in the dyehouse areas. A wide variety of hazardous chemicals are used in this process, and explosions can arise from the properties of such chemicals such as flammability, flammability and flammability, and can have serious and fatal consequences. All studies for controlling the risks by evaluating the situations that may create an explosive atmosphere are handled within the framework of "Explosion Protection Document (EPD)" as stipulated by national legislation. Concepts, calculations and other technical arrangements laid down by national and international standards are needed in determining explosive atmospheres. The basis of the Explosion Protection Document is the determination of the type and extent of the explosive atmosphere. In this study, in order to identify potential hazardous areas related to gas explosion risk, which is one of the most important hazards encountered in a paint shop located in a local enterprise, firstly, the physical properties of flammable liquid chemicals used in the process and their sources of release in the enterprise were determined. Afterwards, the speed and flow rates of the liquids that may cause an explosive atmosphere in the process have been determined beforehand and the hazardous zone type and extent have been determined, by using the Italian national standard (application guide) CEI 31-35, which contains detailed regulations within the scope of the restrictions arising with the TSE EN 60079-10-1 standard. Suggestions were made regarding the determination of control and safety measures, including the determination of equipment that can be used in the explosive atmosphere.
