What is a DSEAR assessment?
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 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.
When undertaking a DSEAR Assessment, the following ‘how likely’ questions are usually asked: who could be hurt, how severely, what can be done to prevent it?
