Three day - DSEAR training course

Developed from the success of the now familiar two day course, the new three day training programme goes even further to explain the many hazards associated with the use of dangerous substances. It explains in detail - What should I look for? How can failure occur? What should be done to prevent fire or explosion?  -  The questions answered.

Whilst similar to the structure of the DSC-Ltd one day IOSH certified course, the content depth and the number of topics covered in the new three day course is greatly increased. Dust is featured in far more depth and an additional section on ATEX classifications is also included, giving a greater understanding of ATEX and how it fits into the DSEAR equation. Explanations are provided on Atex gas groups, Category-groups, Temperature ratings and so forth.

Reference is also drawn to the theoretical understanding of flammable vapours with examples of how the Lower Explosive Limit can be converted into a meaningful quantity or volume of chemical per cubic metre of space. This all combines to providing the data and answers required, to understanding the final section of the course, How do I Zone my production operation?

The course explains the differing control documents, BS60079-10,  E.I.15,   iGEM and demonstrates how some 14 differing factors, such as vapour density, pressure or temperature can affect the classification, the size and type of zone required.  

Each delegate with receive a typical risk assessment template, along with a full and detailed 150 page training manual to assist with their learning.   As with all courses, working group activities are required as part of each days learning, which further promotes discussion and ideas on how to resolve typical problems associated with dangerous substance hazards.

The first course is scheduled 25-27th April 2017 and further details are available from www.dsc-ltd.co.uk.
