ATEX and DSEAR: Reducing the Risk of Fire and Explosion
IMechE live online seminar
Overview
DSEAR and ATEX exist to manage and mitigate the risk of fire and explosions. However, the interactions between the User Directive (known as DSEAR in UK Law) and the Manufacturer’s Directive are often misunderstood, leading to potentially disastrous consequences in the way that organisations approach the control of these hazards.
This live online seminar aims to support engineers who are involved in the handling, processing and storage of potentially combustible or explosive solid materials. Presentations will focus on case studies of incidents to demonstrate where breakdowns can lead to catastrophe, responsibilities and risk assessments to identify key problems, and practical solutions to keep people safe.
One of the key barriers to understanding ATEX and DSEAR is the lack of willingness be open about incidents where things have gone wrong. Through breakout sessions, this event offers an opportunity for candid discussion of real-world scenarios – with expert feedback on how improvements can be made. Join this seminar to ensure you fully understand your responsibilities, implement best practice, and improve safety.
Early Bird discount ends on 22nd April 2022.
