Atex Inspections Ltd are a leading, international hazardous area inspection company. We have over 50 years experience working with Ex equipment especially in the Oil & Gas sector and our core business is the inspection and compliance of ATEX equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres. Our Co-founder Mr Ray Whitehead first became involved with explosive atmospheres and Ex equipment in the UK coal mines back in the 1960's. Ex equipment was then known as FLP (Flame Leakage Protection) and was the forerunner to the ATEX equipment everyone uses today. He was then involved in the start-up of the very first oil fields in the UK North Sea in the 1970's included the Forties, Brent and Piper so our experience is vast going back many years.

​
