On-demand Webinar: DSEAR & ATEX Update
DSEAR stands for the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002. As dangerous substances can put peoples’ safety at risk from fire, explosion and the corrosion of metal, DSEAR puts duties on employers and the self-employed to protect people from these risks to their safety in the workplace, and to members of the public who may be put at risk by work activity.
This DSEAR webinar provides a foundation for the requirements of the regulations and introduces the risks from dangerous substances and explosive atmospheres, how to carry out risk assessments, and implement suitable workplace control measures.
What you’ll learn:
- An overview of the legislation
- Process safety testing strategies for DSEAR compliance (dusts, vapours & gases)
- Understanding hazardous area classification and establishing a “basis of safety” for unit operations
This webinar is best for:
- Operational and maintenance staff
- Process and HSE Professionals
- Project Managers and Risk Assessors
