Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR), Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

Why This Course Matters

Fires, explosions, and corrosion — all preventable with the right awareness.

Many workplaces unknowingly expose workers to serious risks from flammable liquids, explosive dusts, vapours, and corrosive substances. When these risks are unmanaged, the consequences can be catastrophic — from injury and death to property damage and business shutdowns.

The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) legally require employers to identify and control these risks. This course explains what the law demands, how to conduct proper risk assessments, and what controls should be in place to reduce the threat of fires and explosions in any workplace.
