Posted By Jon Bradburn We currently have a small laboratory facility (room sized)which involves to evaporation of petroleum ether. At present the room has ATEX lighting, various access and prodecural controls and an extraction system. I have been asked to invesigate the requirements for expanding this facility by 60%. This will undoubtable increase the exposure levels and levels of flammable vapours in the atmosphere. The existing DSEAR assesment is dated and patchy and I have no evidence of existing or projected levels. I don't have the inhouse competence to address this and believe my best approach would be to seek advice from a specialist DSEAR assessor. Any additonal advice and recommendations of a suitable service provider would be appreciated Thanks in Advance Jon

Posted By Ian G Hutchings Dear Jon As above, we can provide this type of support and guidance. You can access my email via my name link or website. I know that DSEAR can be a bit of a minefield, so it is important to be able to demonstrate competence. Best wishes Ian
