What the work looks like

Most of our Milford Haven work is not the major operators themselves, whose sites run their own permit regimes. It is the firms around them: tank cleaning, coatings and blasting, fabrication, scaffolding, marine fuel, waste, plant hire and inspection. Those businesses get audited by their clients, and increasingly the DSEAR assessment is asked for at pre-qualification rather than after an incident. If someone has asked for yours and you are trying to work out what they mean, ring and read us the wording.

Typical Milford Haven jobs

  • Port-side workshops, stores and marine services
  • Coatings, blasting and fabrication units
  • Fuel handling, bunkering and marine diesel
  • Fish processing plant and refrigeration machinery spaces
  • Waterfront hospitality with cellar gas and kitchen LPG
  • Contractor units on Thornton and Havens Head

Most sites needing DSEAR also need a fire risk assessment, and since 1 October 2023 that one must be recorded in full whatever the headcount. We do both, in one visit, written to agree with each other.

What you get

A

The assessment

Substances, release sources, ignition sources, existing controls and the residual risk, written so an inspector and your own staff can both follow it.

B

Zoning drawings

Where zones are needed, a marked‑up plan and elevation with boundaries and extents dimensioned, ready to hand to an electrical contractor.

C

Equipment schedule

What is installed in each zone, whether it is suitable, and what needs replacing, ranked by urgency.

D

A prioritised action list

Numbered and dated. What to do this week, and what waits for the next shutdown.
