Introduction

The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) hold significant importance in regulating the presence and use of flammable substances, including gases, liquids, and dust, within workplaces.

At the core of DSEAR, effective training plays a pivotal role, ensuring that employers provide suitable and sufficient training to protect workers from fire and explosion risks related to dangerous substances and potentially explosive atmospheres.

To facilitate compliance, Gexcon introduces an innovative, budget-friendly online training tool. This interactive platform empowers both employers and employees to enhance their expertise in this specialized field.

With its user-friendly design, the training is divided into four modules, offering a practical overview of DSEAR regulations. It imparts fundamental insights into explosion phenomena, their consequences, achieving DSEAR compliance, and safeguarding personnel and equipment.
