Have a look at the earthing information detailed in your applicable hazardous area standard.

You will need to give more information if you want a better answer (along with the applicable hazardous area standards you are trying to comply with, zones, dust/gas, etc).

Earth is earth is earth. There is nothing special about equipotential bonding in hazardous areas.

If it were not in a hazardous area, how would it be done?
