Site Safety

Structured assessments under DSEAR and ATEX 153 to identify and manage fire and explosion risks from flammable substances and explosive atmospheres. From risk assessments to equipment selection and engineered safety solutions, we ensure your operations remain safe, compliant and auditable.

We identify, classify and document areas where explosive atmospheres may occur. Our zoning studies are based on relevant standards and codes and include ventilation review, source identification and boundary justification forming the basis for equipment selection and controls.

We inspect electrical and mechanical installations in hazardous areas against ATEX, BS EN and IEC standards. Our inspections verify conformance, highlight non-compliances and provide action plans that support safe operation and audit readiness.

We assess ignition hazards from mechanically driven equipment operating in zoned areas. MEIRAs help support equipment suitability, justify area classification boundaries, and ensure alignment with BS EN 1127-1 and BS EN ISO 80079-36/37.

We compile and manage full Explosion Protection Documents that align with DSEAR requirements consolidating your risk assessments, HAC, inspection records, equipment registers and ignition risk controls into a single coherent compliance record.

We deliver targeted training on DSEAR and hazardous area compliance, tailored to operational, engineering and leadership roles. Our sessions build internal capability, reinforce key responsibilities and support competence demonstration under regulations.

We help organisations build and implement robust management frameworks around DSEAR and ATEX 153 compliance. From policy development and competency frameworks to procedures, monitoring and continuous improvement cycles, we provide the structure needed to demonstrate defensible governance.

Our approach ensures explosion safety is embedded into daily operations, making compliance sustainable and aligned with best practice.

Unlike a standard gap analysis, our review delves into explosion safety governance, risk assessment quality, hazardous area classification, ignition source control and protection measures. We benchmark your processes against best practice, providing independent, evidence based insights.

The output isn’t just a list of gaps, it’s a management dashboard, compliance score and prioritised action plan that equips you to act decisively and satisfy regulators and insurers.
