Process Safety Training
Specialist training in DSEAR, ATEX, hazardous area classification, and ignition risk assessment — tailored courses to build compliance and safety expertise.
DSEAR Training Courses
Arthian’s DSEAR training courses provide practical, hands‑on guidance for organisations that handle dangerous substances and need to comply with the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR). Delivered by experienced consultants, our programmes are designed to build confidence, competence, and compliance across all levels of your workforce.
We offer a range of flexible training options to suit different needs:
- Half‑day DSEAR training – a concise introduction for teams who need awareness of explosive atmosphere risks, ignition hazards, and basic compliance responsibilities.
- One‑day DSEAR training – a more detailed course covering UK legislation, workplace risk assessment techniques, and practical control measures.
- Two‑day DSEAR training – an in‑depth programme for managers, engineers, and safety professionals, including case studies, scenario‑based exercises, and audit‑ready documentation guidance.
- Permit issuers training (half‑day) – tailored for supervisors and permit‑to‑work issuers, focusing on ignition hazard assessment, safe systems of work, and regulatory expectations.
Our training is suitable for managers, engineers, permit issuers, and frontline staff, and can be delivered on‑site or virtually to fit your operational needs. By investing in DSEAR training, organisations not only meet regulatory requirements but also strengthen workplace safety culture and reduce the risk of costly incidents.
Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) Training
Arthian’s Hazardous Area Classification (HAC) training courses give delegates the knowledge and practical skills to identify, assess, and classify areas where explosive atmospheres may occur. These courses are designed to help organisations comply with UK and EU legislation, align with ATEX/DSEAR requirements, and ensure safe design and operation of equipment in hazardous zones.
We offer flexible training options to suit different levels of expertise:
- 1‑day HAC training course – a focused introduction to hazardous area classification principles, zoning methodology, and practical examples. Ideal for engineers, safety professionals, and managers who need a clear understanding of HAC fundamentals.
- 2‑day HAC training course – a comprehensive programme covering detailed classification techniques, case studies, and hands‑on exercises. Suitable for those responsible for preparing or reviewing HAC documentation, equipment selection, and compliance audits.
Our training is suitable for design engineers, project managers, safety specialists, and operational staff, and can be delivered on‑site or virtually.
Risk & Ignition Assessment Training
Arthian’s Risk and Ignition Assessment training courses equip delegates with the knowledge and practical skills to identify ignition hazards, assess workplace risks, and implement proportionate control measures. These courses are designed to help organisations comply with DSEAR and wider process safety requirements, while building confidence in managing ignition sources and preventing incidents.
We offer flexible training options tailored to different levels of responsibility:
- Half‑day ignition hazard assessment training course – a concise introduction for supervisors, permit issuers, and frontline staff who need awareness of ignition risks and safe systems of work.
- 1‑day workplace risk assessment training course – a comprehensive programme covering hazard identification, ignition source evaluation, and practical workplace risk assessment techniques. Suitable for managers, engineers, and safety professionals.
Our training is suitable for managers, engineers, supervisors, and operational staff, and can be delivered on‑site or virtually to fit your organisation’s needs. By investing in Risk & Ignition Assessment training, organisations strengthen their ability to identify hazards early, reduce ignition risks, and maintain a strong safety culture.
ATEX Mechanical Aspects 1‑Day Training Course

Focused on the requirements of the ATEX Directive and UK DSEAR legislation, this one‑day programme is designed to ensure compliance, improve safety, and build confidence in equipment selection and maintenance.
The course covers:
- Principles of mechanical ignition sources – friction, impact, static discharge, and hot surfaces.
- ATEX equipment categories and conformity requirements – ensuring correct specification and certification.
- Hazardous area zoning and mechanical equipment considerations – integrating mechanical aspects into HAC and DSEAR risk assessments.
- Inspection, maintenance, and safe operation practices – practical steps to reduce risks and maintain compliance.
- Audit‑ready documentation and regulator expectations – preparing evidence for inspections and demonstrating compliance.
Delegates will gain a clear understanding of how mechanical equipment can contribute to ignition risks, how to select and maintain compliant equipment, and how to integrate mechanical aspects into wider process safety frameworks. Delivered on‑site or virtually, the course combines technical theory with real‑world examples to ensure practical application.
