Audit and Survey

System Audit & Survey – HSE and DSEAR / ATEX Regulations 2002

DSEAR (Dangerous Substances & Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002) sets out the legal requirement for Thermal Fluid Systems and Representative Fluid Analysis.

Health and safety legislation requires that employers provide a safe working environment.

DSEAR (ATEX/CAD in Europe) sets out a mechanism for minimising the risks where flammable materials are handled which could create an explosive atmosphere.

Employers have a legal obligation not only to comply with this but to prepare and maintain documentary evidence.
