Technical and Practical DSEAR Training
DSEAR is an integrated approach to explosion risk assessment, area classification, equipment selection and consequence mitigation. To manage the implementation of DSEAR it is necessary to understand how area classification integrates with explosion protection levels (EPL’s) to provide an overall acceptable risk level.
Course Synopsis
This 3-day course is designed to provide personnel with the skills to conduct ATEX, DSEAR and Explosion Safety reviews including Area Classification and Explosion Risk Assessment, ascertain plant explosion safety and compliance with ATEX 137, DSEAR and Mandatory Plant Safety. We will teach you not only how to conduct and area classification, but how area classification integrates with explosion protection levels to provide an overall acceptable risk level. This building integrated approach to both classification and equipment selection and mitigation requirements is vital to both project costs and plant safety, as failure to understand the repercussions of classification can be expensive or even fatal. This course is 3 days classroom theory with many practical examples, Topics covered include:
- DSEAR, ATEX 137 and international legislation (the legal framework, HSE ACOPS)
- Introduction: Understanding risk and ignition and leak frequency relationships
- Explanation of UKCA, ATEX, NEC and IEC Codes used with Area Classification (Gas and Dust)
- Dust Explosion Safety
- IEC/ EN60079-10 IEC/ EN60079-10-1 Standard
- Area Classification methodologies including calculations, IP15 and ‘Blanket’ Methods.
- Ignition Risk Assessment (EN1127)
- Hazards Reduction and removal (safety systems, gas detection, people)
- Explosion Consequence Analysis & Mitigation
- Example Safety Case,
- Documentation for Compliance (DSEAR EPD examples)
