FAQ

What is DSEAR?

DSEAR stands for the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 and is a risk assessment. Dangerous substances can put people’s safety at risk from fire, explosion, and metal corrosion. DSEAR sets duties on employers and workers to save people from these risks to their safety in the workplace and the public who may be put at risk by work activity.

When undertaking a DSEAR Assessment, the following ‘how likely’ questions are usually asked:

  • who could be hurt,
  • how severely, and
  • What can be done to prevent it?

What areas are considered under DSEAR?

A DSEAR assessment defines a place where potentially explosive atmospheres may or may not occur. By defining an explosive atmosphere as a hazardous zone, employers can create special safeguards to protect businesses, people, the workplace, and the environment. A Hazardous Area Classification is used to identify these places and areas whereby control measures must be put in place (if necessary). Therefore, these classifications are an integral part of the DSEAR risk assessment.

How often should a DSEAR risk assessment be undertaken?

A DSEAR assessment should be constantly reviewed if you believe your current DSEAR may be invalid. Although this could include the standardised 3-5 year time frame, it is recommended that a risk assessment review should occur if you have recently had a near miss or if you have made minor changes to your process.
