DSEAR Risk Assessment Support in Somerset

Where dangerous substances are used, stored or handled on a Somerset site, DSEAR may require the risks to be assessed and controlled. That can apply wherever hazardous atmospheres or ignition risks could arise.

A practical DSEAR assessment may look at hazardous area classification, process risks, equipment suitability, maintenance, emergency arrangements and staff competence. The aim is to produce findings that are clear enough to act on.
