Controlling Hazardous Dusts in the Workplace

Dust-related hazards and product spills generally fall into two primary categories. The first concerns dust that poses health risks. This includes well-known dangers like asbestos and silica, but even everyday dust that workers inhale can be harmful. Industrial Vacuum Cleaners designated as M-Class and H-Class, effectively manage hazardous dust using HEPA filtration and appropriate disposable collection methods.
The second category involves dust that presents environmental risks. A key example is dust capable of creating explosive atmospheres, particularly organic substances such as sugar or flour. Some materials, like wood dust, are hazardous to both health and fire safety. ATEX-rated Industrial Vacuum Cleaners are essential for areas classified as ATEX zones.


Choosing the right Industrial Vacuum Cleaner requires assessing potential dangers to determine the correct and appropriate specifications. BVC – British Vacuum Cleaners is a leading UK brand of industrial vacuum solutions. Manufactured by Quirepace in Fareham, Hampshire, the range includes M-Class and H-Class machines for harmful dust, along with ATEX-rated models for explosive environments.

When and Why You Must Review Your ATEX/DSEAR Assessment

Whether you're handling flammable gases, combustible dusts, or unstable chemicals, the risk of explosive atmospheres must be managed proactively, not reactively. In the UK, the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) legally require employers to assess and mitigate these risks. DSEAR enacts the European ATEX and Chemical Agents Directives (CAD) into UK law, and while DSEAR was derived from EU legislation, it now stands independently post-Brexit.

The UK Health and Safety Executive's Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) L138 provides authoritative guidance on when, why, and how often DSEAR reviews must be conducted.

So, when should you act, and how do you ensure your ATEX/DSEAR assessment protects your people, plant, and profits? Your ATEX/DSEAR assessment is not just a report — it's your foundation for safe, legal, and efficient operations. As your processes evolve, so must your understanding of the hazards they pose.

Strategic and Operational Drivers for Conducting ATEX/DSEAR Assessments

Conducting a DSEAR/ATEX assessment is far more than a tick-box exercise — it's a critical component of operational safety, legal compliance, and business continuity. Key drivers include:

  • Regulatory Compliance – DSEAR is a legal obligation under UK law.
  • Safe Operation of Facilities – Identifies and mitigates fire, explosion, and energetic risks.
  • Insurance & Liability Management – Demonstrates duty of care and can influence policy premiums.
  • Training & Awareness – Supports ongoing education for personnel about hazardous areas.
  • Integration with Process Safety – Complements frameworks such as Process Safety Management (PSM) and Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) for robust risk management.
  • ESG & Governance Alignment – Shows commitment to high safety and environmental standards.

Failure to comply with DSEAR can result in enforcement actions, heavy fines, or prosecution under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

Common Pitfalls in ATEX/DSEAR Reviews: What We Frequently Uncover

Risk assessments often capture a snapshot in time. Critical hazards can be missed without the right depth and expertise, potentially with catastrophic consequences.

Electrostatic Hazards – Frequently Overlooked Risks
Insufficient understanding of material conductivity, flexible hosing, insulating Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), or worn earthing systems can create inadvertent ignition sources.

Dust Hazards – The Silent Threat
Combustible powders can form explosive dust clouds under specific conditions. Many facilities underestimate the explosiveness of seemingly benign materials.

Non-Routine Operations – The Hidden Danger
Start-up, shutdown, cleaning, and regeneration cycles often fall outside standard assessments — yet they pose some of the highest risks.

Waste Systems – The Forgotten Fire Source
Poorly understood or unmanaged waste handling and disposal can introduce flammable atmospheres or reactive by-products.

Our expert reviews often reveal overlooked ignition sources, misclassified zones, or equipment mismatches that standard assessments miss.

Safety Systems – Reliance on unverified Safety Systems

In process safety, many systems require SIL (Safety Integrity Levels) verification, also usually requires ‘proof testing’ of the systems. Such systems may include ventilation failure alarms, temperature monitoring, fuels valves that close automatically on leak or fire detection and process failure alarms.

When to Review Your DSEAR Assessment: Aligning with Change and Risk

Reviews must be conducted at appropriate intervals, not just when "something seems wrong." The HSE's L138 guidance is clear: reassess when there is any significant change or on a routine, risk-based schedule.

Recommended Review Intervals

Risk Profile

High-risk site

Medium to low-risk site

After a significant change

Review Frequency

Every 1–2 years

Every 3–5 years

Immediately

Reviews can take the form of ‘audits (gap analysis) or, in some cases. Management Reviews as long as DSEAR/ATEX experts feed into the reviews.

What Counts as a "Significant Change"?

  • New processes, materials, or equipment introduced
  • Changes in material data (e.g. new supplier or altered particle size)
  • Changes in quantities of flammables used or stored.
  • Degradation of safety-critical equipment (EN60079-14 and SIL)
  • Adjustments in SOPs, batch sizes, and process parameters
  • Layout or ventilation changes (area classification)
  • Updates to storage or handling methods
  • Changes in number of people (consequences)

Pro Tip: Integrate DSEAR reviews into your Management of Change (MOC) policies. ExVeritas offers expert support in embedding DSEAR into MOC frameworks.

Why Regular DSEAR Reviews Matter

Routine assessments do more than tick compliance boxes — they proactively improve your safety posture and operational efficiency:

  • Optimise Zoning – Prevent costly over-zoning by validating real risk profiles.
  • Confirm the Basis of Safety – Ensure effective ignition sources are controlled, and explosion protection systems are correctly rated for new materials.
  • Identify New Ignition Sources – Catch emerging hazards from changes in equipment use, safety systems, procedures, wear-and-tear or maintenance changes, etc.
  • Strengthen Procedures – Align systems of work with current plant realities (e.g. ventilation, leak detection, continuity to earth, etc.)
    • Continuous Improvement – Feed findings into broader risk management and functional safety strategies.

    Routine checks consider issues that will not be considered in typical 60079-14/17 Inspections (such as CompEx, which tend to focus on ‘equipment’). A schedule should be made for other necessary inspections, such as ventilation effectiveness and removal of empty flammable storage containers.

    Pro Tip: Factors that affect Area Classification will have the greatest impact on overall safety. Preventing (with maintenance) and detecting leaks or housekeeping (for dust) should be considered regularly. 

     It is imperative that there is a management system in place that monitors significant factors that affect explosion safety. Equipment inspections will be part of this but are not sufficient on their own, and systems must be put in place to both identify and monitor less obvious aspects relating to the flammable material and containment such as separation, segregation and ventilation

     ExVeritas help organisations proactively manage fire and explosion risks through specialist ATEX and DSEAR assessments.

ATEX – why you should be worried

TPI_May.jpeg

If you are even asking yourself the question “should I be worried about explosive atmospheres (ATEX)” then the answer is most probably “yes”. The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) require employers to control the risks to safety from fire, explosions and substances corrosive to metals. This places the onus firmly on you!

It is well understood that equipment for use in more obvious hazardous locations such as flour mills, coal mines, petrochemical plants and fuel transfer facilities, needs to be certified “intrinsically safe”. However, hazardous locations also include places like water treatment plants, tunnels and underground passageways or any location where a build-up of naturally occurring flammable material (such as methane or dust) could occur.

Most people are familiar with the definitions of ATEX ‘Zones’. Put simply, Zone 0 means an explosive atmosphere is very likely and Zone 2 means it is unlikely, with Zone 1 being the “grey area” in between. It is easy enough to identify from its markings whether a particular piece of equipment is suitable for a particular Zone, e.g. Ex ia for Zone 0, Ex ib for Zone 1 and Ex ic for Zone 2. However, what is not so obvious is identifying which locations in your plant are in which Zones.

As if the issue of Zones wasn’t enough, there is also the consideration of which gases are likely to be encountered. For example, equipment marked as Group IIB must not be used in Zones with hydrogen or acetylene likely to be present. Those gases would require at least Group IIC certification.

graph_1_TPI.jpeg

Then there is also consideration of the equipment’s temperature classification, which specifies the maximum surface temperature that could arise due to a fault. For example, equipment coded T2 could potentially get hot enough to ignite gasoline! However, an equipment coding of T4 is generally considered acceptable, being safe for all gases apart from Carbon Disulfide, which requires T6.

The TPI 9085Ex features on-meter analysis for the detection of machinery faults such as unbalance, misalignment, looseness and bearing wear. With full colour OLED display and Bluetooth communications, the TPI 9085Ex also features colour coded alarms and zoomable on-screen vibration frequency plots with cursor readout. It can store lists (routes) of up to 1000 machines, each with up to 10 measurement points, with full waveform and frequency spectrum (FFT) capture. Uniquely, the TPI 9085Ex delivers high level functionality and capability, including instantaneous bearing temperature measurement, all at very low cost.

The included free-to-use VibTrend PC-based trending and reporting software features high-end benefits such as automatic email notification of alarms and report generation, to implement a full Condition Based Maintenance strategy.  Routes and readings can easily be transferred to/from the TPI 9085Ex via Bluetooth using a smart phone or tablet running the free TPI Bridge App. This allows service personnel to be sent routes and return readings, no matter where they are in the world.

Driving Workplace Safety Forward MSA Safety Sparks Industry Conversation on Improving Worker Safety

In a crucial step toward enhancing workplace safety, MSA Safety brought together a diverse group of industry experts to address the stagnation in reducing workplace accidents and fatalities.

With Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Great Britain’s national regulator for workplace health and safety, highlighting that UK statistics around fatal workplace accidents plateauing over the past decade, experts from fields including architecture, manufacturing, media, charities, and those who’ve experienced life-altering accidents, offered valuable insights to help improve safety practices across industry.

The discussion, focused on the risks of working at height, revealed that despite advances in technology and attitudes around safety, fatalities remain each year. In 2024 alone, 138 people lost their lives in workplace accidents, 36% of which were due to falls from height. The current figures on non-fatal accidents have remained consistent for years, the current rate being similar to 2018/19 levels, further underscoring the need for change.

Key takeaways from the discussion include the importance of clear communication, accessible safety education, and the need for comfortable, well-designed personal protective equipment (PPE) that workers are more likely to wear. The panel also identified barriers such as human nature, poor equipment design, and budget constraints that may often hinder safety improvement efforts.

Panel member Jason Anker, who has dedicated his life to safety advocacy after a life-changing fall, emphasised that a total safety culture must be ingrained at every level of the industry when it comes to working at height - from designers to contractors and to workers themselves.

Panellists agreed that engaging key stakeholders, improving PPE design, and making safety a priority from the beginning of a project are all critical steps in helping to foster a culture of safety.

The goal is clear: by driving communication, collaboration, and education, the industry can help reduce accidents and fatalities, ultimately creating a safe, resilient workforce.
