DSEAR: Controlling Dust Explosion Risks

♦Book now for 25 April♦

DSEAR regulates the presence and use of dangerous substances in the workplace.

These substances include flammable solids in the form of a finely divided dust which, if dispersed in the air, could lead to a serious fire explosion.

Flammable dusts pose unique risks that differ from those posed by flammable gases and liquids.

On Thursday 25 April 2019, HSE will run a 1 day training course on
DSEAR: Controlling Dust Explosion Risks at its Science and Research Centre near Buxton, Derbyshire.

This course provides advice on how to understand the hazards from flammable dusts and how the risks from storing and using these dusts can be managed so as to comply with DSEAR.

DSEAR: Controlling Dust Explosion Risks is for managers and supervisors of process plant and operations, where dangerous substances are used or stored.

It's also aimed at safety specialists who need to understand how to manage the risks from dangerous substances within the framework of the DSEAR duties. The course is intended to allow them to act as an intelligent customer when commissioning work related to DSEAR.

Change behaviour for better health and safety

Tackle and change risk-taking behaviour to improve your workplace health and safety

Not all risks can be engineered out of the work environment.

Even with the best procedures in place, individuals at work still take short cuts and make mistakes.

Sometimes risk-taking behaviour is intentional; in other cases, risks may be taken due to a lack of understanding about a particular hazard, associated controls or inadequate training.

For individuals, such risk-taking can result in injury, ill-health or even death.
For organisations, the costs can be lost time, damage to machinery, litigation and prosecution.

Delivered by psychologists, HSE's 2 day course - 'Behaviour Change: Achieving Health & Safety Culture Excellence' - gives insights into the many factors that can influence workers' and managers' behaviour.

The course demonstrates how behaviour change, leadership and worker engagement can be incorporated into the wider health and safety management system to ensure an integrated, and therefore more effective approach to risk management.

In doing so, both the immediate and underlying causes of risk-taking can be tackled head on.

'Behaviour Change: Achieving Health & Safety Culture Excellence' will be held on
Wednesday 1 - Thursday 2 May 2019 at the HSE Science and Research Centre near Buxton, Derbyshire and aimed at health and safety managers with limited knowledge or experience of behaviour change approaches.

Know your duties under COMAH regulations and how to comply with them

The Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015 (COMAH) aim to prevent and mitigate the effects of major accidents involving dangerous substances that could seriously harm people and/or the environment.

Those establishments using or storing quantities of harmful
substances that exceed the lower of the thresholds specified by COMAH are known as
Lower Tier Establishments.

On Thursday 2 May 2019, HSE is running a 1 day course on COMAH Compliance for Lower Tier Establishments at its Science and Research Centre near Buxton, Derbyshire.

Designed for managers/supervisors of new lower tier COMAH establishments or anyone wanting to refresh their understanding of COMAH, this course identifies the COMAH duties for Lower Tier establishments and what needs to be done to comply with them.
It also explains the duties that fall to the Competent Authority (CA) and Local Government.

Find out more about COMAH Compliance for Lower Tier Establishments and BOOK NOW.
