The main purpose of the site survey was to determine whether any area were subject to risk assessment and the duties contained within the Dangerous Substances Explosive Atmosphere Regulations (DSEAR) and to comment on the ongoing hazards and control measures. In DSEAR terms the likelihood and persistence of flammable or explosive mixtures is a primary concern.
Through our survey we were able to assure the company that overall, the handling and use of dangerous substances at the Meggitt Defence Systems operations was acceptable and the level of risk in terms of DSEAR was at a low level.
