About the Course
Explosive atmospheres in the workplace can be caused by flammable gases, mists or vapours or by combustible dusts. This DSEAR training course provides you with a full introduction to requirements and regulations and will ensure you understand the risks from dangerous substances and explosive atmospheres, specifically relating to vehicle workshops and ELV depollution activities.
You will be able to:
Explain what is categorised as an Explosives Atmosphere and how DSEAR legislation applies to the motor vehicle, vehicle depollution and dismantling industry.
Highlight the employer and employee responsibilities relating to explosive atmospheres, flammable chemicals and pressurised gases.
Highlight the specific activities associated with the ELV role which have the potential to create an explosion.
Highlight the specific activities associated with the ELV role which have the potential to provide an ignition source for an explosive atmosphere.
Demonstrate the typical controls that may be considered in order to manage the risks posed by an explosive environment.
Explain how ATEX legislation works alongside DSEAR legislation to manage the risk associated with explosive atmospheres.
