Here’s a polished, accessible blog/news post for ADL Health & Safety announcing the new course — informative but not overly technical, and written in a way that feels approachable for clients and professionals.
We’re excited to announce that ADL Health & Safety is now delivering a brand‑new IFSM‑accredited DSEAR Awareness and Risk Assessment Course, designed to give professionals the confidence and clarity they need when dealing with dangerous substances in the workplace.
DSEAR — the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations — applies to far more workplaces than many people realise. From flammable liquids and aerosols to gas installations, plant rooms, workshops, and battery‑charging areas, everyday environments can present fire and explosion risks if not properly assessed.
Our new course has been created specifically for fire risk assessors, health and safety practitioners, facilities managers, dutyholders, and anyone responsible for low to medium‑risk premises. It bridges the gap between general fire risk assessment and DSEAR requirements, focusing on real‑world scenarios rather than high‑hazard or specialist ATEX environments.
What the course covers
Delegates will gain a clear understanding of:
- When DSEAR applies
- How to identify dangerous substances and potential ignition sources
- How to approach proportionate, defensible DSEAR risk assessments
- How DSEAR fits into wider fire safety and health & safety management
The course takes a practical, hands‑on approach, using examples commonly found in small to medium workplaces. The emphasis is on understanding the risk, not over‑engineering solutions.
Accredited training with real assessment
This isn’t just a certificate of attendance. Delegates will complete:
- A formal knowledge‑based exam
- A practical DSEAR risk assessment exercise
Successful learners will receive an IFSM‑accredited certificate, demonstrating competence in DSEAR awareness and low–medium risk assessment.
Why choose ADL Health & Safety?

- Aligned with UK legislation and HSE guidance
