DSEAR & ATEX 137 - Bridging the Gap

What is the DSEAR Gap Analysis?

The Gap Analysis (also known as the DSEAR Healthcheck) is a method of identifying and establishing the overall compliance status of a site. It will identify issues that are being dealt with correctly under DSEAR and, more importantly, highlight what you still need to do to demonstrate compliance.

The Gap Analysis (aimed primarily at senior management and technical engineers) offers a cost-effective way to understand how much work needs to be done to achieve compliance, before embarking on full programmes of DSEAR work, enabling a compliance strategy to be developed.

How it Works

A member of our DSEAR team will spend a day on-site, meeting with your in-house DSEAR team, checking area classification drawings and conducting a ‘site-walk’, assessing your site against HSE guidance and industry specific codes of practice.

During this time our engineer will be able to grasp what is required in order to demonstrate full compliance to DSEAR.

We will write our findings and recommendations in a brief formal report, which will highlight the timescales of achieving compliance, enabling you to plan a strategy for this work, or a foundation for further work to be conducted with the help of Sira.
