DSEAR Training Can You Really Afford Not To ? 
Consequences of explosions are usually significant, in terms of personal injury, capital loss of plant and production, whilst these events are rare the effects tends to dwarf a majority of any other accidents or incidents that may occur in the workplace. Buncefield is a clear example of this. Therefore it is very important when personnel design, manage, operate and maintain plant involving these hazards, that they are competent to carryout the tasks they are undertaking. Effective training is an essential element of any competency framework. It is vital that personnel understand the risks associated with explosive atmospheres, and more importantly understand the factors which increase the likelihood of an explosion, factors which they may contribute to, or even cause through a lack of understanding or relevant training. Apart from suitable and sufficient training being a legal requirement it makes good business sense.
Effective training will enhance the performance and knowledge of your employees and reduce the risks in your workplace. Ultimately the business will benefit, as a result of improved plant design, efficient management of hazardous areas, and reduced maintenance, all as a consequence of raising the awareness of explosion hazards in the workplace, and how to control and mitigate them. This will ensure valuable effort is only expended where it is required.
