DSEAR Risk Assessments in the North East
DSEAR Risk Assessments Identify Where Flammable Substances Could Cause a Fire or Explosion at Work
The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) require employers to control the risks to safety from fire and explosions caused by dangerous substances. The DSEAR risk assessment from 1 Stop Fire Prevention looks at what you use and store on your premises, where an explosive atmosphere could form and what could ignite it.
You receive a clear report setting out the hazards, the hazardous areas and the actions needed to bring your premises into line with the regulations.

What is the penalty for failing to have a DSEAR risk assessment?
DSEAR is health and safety law. If you use or store dangerous substances and you have not assessed the risks, or have not classified the places where an explosive atmosphere could occur, you are not meeting the regulations. A DSEAR risk assessment is separate from your fire risk assessment, so a premises that holds dangerous substances may need both. A DSEAR risk assessment puts the facts on record before an incident or an inspection asks for them.
UK DSEAR Risk Assessments
A DSEAR risk assessment is a legal requirement for any employer who uses or stores dangerous substances at work. Dangerous substances include solvents, paints, varnishes, flammable gases such as LPG, and dusts from machining, sanding and foodstuffs. Regulation 5 requires a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks, which must be reviewed regularly. Where you employ five or more people, the significant findings must be recorded.
Our assessment covers what regulations 6 and 7 ask of you. We identify the dangerous substances on your premises, assess how they could be released and ignited, and recommend measures to remove or reduce the risk. Where an explosive atmosphere could occur, we classify the area into zones so that equipment and ignition sources can be controlled. The report sets out our findings and the actions to take.
