Frequently asked questions
General
A DSEAR risk assessment identifies and evaluates risks from dangerous substances that could cause fire, explosion or similar hazardous events in the workplace. It considers the substances present, how they are stored and used, potential sources of release, ignition sources and the measures required to control the risk.
If dangerous substances are present or could be produced during your work activities, DSEAR may apply. This can include flammable liquids, gases, vapours, combustible dusts and other substances capable of creating a fire or explosion risk. A DSEAR assessment determines whether significant risks exist and whether additional controls are required.
