About this course

The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations were introduced to make workplaces safer for anyone who works with flammable or potentially explosive substances or substances corrosive to metal.

Without proper controls in place, these substances can ignite and explode, causing serious harm to anyone nearby.

DSEAR places responsibilities on employers to keep anyone who might be affected by dangerous substances safe and to control any hazards they pose. However, employees also have a crucial role to play in keeping themselves and others safe at work.

This course teaches the user about DSEAR and what it covers, what responsibilities employers have to keep everyone safe, and what employees must do to help their organisation comply with the regulations.
