We would also welcome you to read some of our blogs about DSEAR.

For additional information read our short guide – “What needs to be considered as part of your DSEAR/ATEX assessment?”

Costs of DSEAR risk assessments vary depending on the type, size and complexity of organisations, the volume and usage of hazardous substances, and the type of DSEAR assistance you require.  See our guide to fair DSEAR pricing.

As a guideline, fees for work recently undertaken have ranged from as little as £2,475 to over £90,000 to develop the required level of compliance for individual organisations needs.  2018 prices for a one site survey have ranged between £2,475 to £10,000 + VAT.  50% of our DSEAR risk assessments in 2018 have typically cost between £3,200-£3,900. We will undertake much larger multi site projects as done for the Landmarc in 2018.

Our fees may not be the cheapest, we are also not the costliest, as we don’t carry the high overheads of some of our competitors.

DSEAR is concerned with protection of all persons at risk of fire, explosion and similar events arising due to use or presence of dangerous substances in the workplace. Is this is something you need reviewed in your business and do you have the competence to identify the risks?

DSEAR embodies the risk assessment concept that underpins European Union driven health & safety legislation to protect workers from potential fire and explosion risks due to the presence of dangerous substances.

Where the likelihood of fire and explosion risk is identified due to use of a dangerous substance, DSEAR requires that a formal risk assessment is then carried out and recorded. It also requires that risk should be eliminated or reduced; that procedures and equipment be available to deal with emergencies; and, that employees be provided with appropriate information and training.

Importantly, this includes classification of areas where hazardous explosive atmospheres may occur into zones – depending upon likelihood of an explosive atmosphere and its persistence. Areas that are classified into zones must be protected from sources of ignition and recognised entry points must be marked with a specified ‘EX’ sign – though this is only appropriate where the ‘EX’ sign is of benefit in reducing the risk.
