| Abstract |
This leaflet provides practical advice to employers (particularly those with small and medium-sized businesses), and the self-employed, about the basic requirements of the Dangerous Substances Atmospheres Regulations 2002 - known as DSEAR. It is not meant to be a comprehensive guide to DSEAR and because it is a snapshot view, it cannot include all matters covered by DSEAR. Full guidance and details will be contained in the Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and guidance to be published during 2003. Contents: What is DSEAR?; What is a dangerous substance?; What is an explosive atmosphere?; Where does DSEAR apply?; What are the main requirements of DSEAR for employers and the self-employed?; What does the risk assessment involve?; When should I do the risk assessment?; Does the risk assessment have to be recorded?; What safety measures does DSEAR require?; What additional requirements apply in places where explosive atmospheres can occur?; What arrangements are required for dealing with accidents, incidents and emergencies?; What information, instruction and training is required for employees (and others at the workplace)?; Who will enforce DSEAR?; What else will DSEAR do? |
