DSEAR and ATEX exist to manage and mitigate the risk of fire and explosions. However, the interactions between the User Directive (known as DSEAR in UK Law) and the Manufacturer’s Directive are often misunderstood, leading to potentially disastrous consequences in the way that organisations approach the control of these hazards.
This live online seminar, organised by the Institution’s Bulk Materials Handling Committee, aims to support engineers who are involved in the handling, processing and storage of potentially combustible or explosive solid materials. Presentations will focus on case studies of incidents to demonstrate where breakdowns can lead to catastrophe, responsibilities and risk assessments to identify key problems, and practical solutions to keep people safe.
One of the key barriers to understanding ATEX and DSEAR is the lack of willingness be open about incidents where things have gone wrong. Through breakout sessions, this event offers an opportunity for candid discussion of real-world scenarios – with expert feedback on how improvements can be made. Join this seminar to ensure you fully understand your responsibilities, implement best practice, and maximise safety.
Join this live online seminar to:
- Gain the knowledge required to identify and address shortcomings in compliance – reducing the risk of incidents and their disastrous consequences
- Identify opportunities for collaboration between end-users in a variety of sectors and specialists in Bulk Solids equipment and practice
- Get feedback from technical experts to help manage the risks and hazards specific to different environments
