The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) 2002 regulations arise from the implementation of the safety provisions of the Chemical Agents Directive and the Explosives Atmospheres Directive (ATEX 99/92/EC). They set specific requirements for identifying hazardous substances and areas, identifying the risks associated with them, and implementing controls including the selection of equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
