DSEAR Risk Assessments in Lancashire

Where dangerous substances are present at a Lancashire site, DSEAR may require the business to assess the risks created by those materials and put suitable control measures in place.

This can involve reviewing storage, handling, process activities, ignition sources, ventilation, area classification and equipment suitability. A practical DSEAR report helps businesses understand what matters most and what needs attention first.
