Course Summary
Our course outlines the key requirements of DSEAR and gives an understanding of the legal requirements & duties of employers. Dangerous substances are any substances used or present at work that could, if not properly controlled, cause harm to people as a result of a fire or explosion. They can be found in nearly all workplaces and include such things as solvents, paints, varnishes, flammable gases, such as liquid petroleum gas (LPG), dusts from machining and sanding operations and dusts from foodstuffs.
Delegates will be introduced to the principals of fire, explosion & typical examples of dangerous substances & will be able to identify hazards from these substances and understand typical effective control measures.
Delegates will be assessed at the end of the course and can be provided with certificates upon request. Our DSEAR course can also be tailored to suit individual clients needs & particular hazards & risks.
