Tyne and Wear
If you store or use flammable liquids, gases, LPG, solvents, or generate combustible dust, DSEAR 2002 places a separate legal duty on you — one that a fire risk assessment does not discharge. We produce the written assessment, the hazardous area classification and the basis of safety.
Our Newcastle DSEAR work is driven largely by commercial kitchens using bulk or bottled LPG, and by the light industrial base on Team Valley and Newcastle Business Park — print and coatings, vehicle workshops, and small-scale solvent handling. Hospitality operators in particular are often unaware DSEAR applies to them at all.

Newcastle is around thirty minutes from our County Durham base, so site visits across the city and Gateshead are straightforward to arrange.
A written report you can hand straight to an enforcing officer, your insurer, your landlord or your client — branded, photographed and dated, with every finding given a priority rating and a realistic timescale.
We talk you through it afterwards. A report you don’t understand is a report you won’t action.
Tell us the premises type, floor area and number of storeys. We come back with a fixed price, usually the same day.
A full walkthrough with you or your responsible person. We ask questions on site rather than guessing later.
Issued within five working days — branded, photographed, with a prioritised action plan you can work through.
We talk you through the findings. Review reminders are included so nothing lapses without you knowing.

That includes vehicle workshops, bakeries, joinery shops, paint sprayers, agricultural stores, breweries and commercial kitchens with bulk LPG — not just chemical plants.

No. They are separate legal duties under different regulations and one does not substitute for the other. Many premises need both. A fire risk assessment considers fire risk to occupants; DSEAR considers the risk of an explosive atmosphere forming and igniting.
It's the process of dividing your site into zones based on how likely an explosive atmosphere is to be present and for how long. The zone then determines what category of electrical and mechanical equipment can legally be used in that space. Getting it wrong in either direction is expensive — over-zoning means unnecessary ATEX equipment costs, under-zoning means non-compliance.
Call us. A ten-minute conversation usually settles it. If you're out of scope, we'll tell you and there's no charge for the conversation. We won't sell you an assessment you don't need.
You receive a written assessment with zoning, the basis of safety, and a prioritised action plan. We'll walk you through it. Where actions involve equipment changes or engineering controls, we'll help you scope the work so you can get sensible quotes.
Tell us a little about the building and we’ll come back with a fixed price. No obligation, no sales call, no pressure.
