What the work looks like

Hot work is the defining feature here. Welding, cutting, grinding and blasting alongside coatings, solvents, compressed gases and fuel systems, often in the same building and sometimes on the same day. That combination is exactly what DSEAR was written for, and it is also why hot work permits are the control we look at hardest. A permit system that stops at the workshop door does not help when the job moves outside to a vessel or a tank.

Typical Pembroke Dock jobs

  • Marine engineering, welding and fabrication
  • Coatings, blasting and paint stores
  • Compressed and dissolved gases including acetylene
  • Vessel fuel systems and bunkering
  • Freight, storage and terminal operations
  • Workshop solvent and adhesive stores

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.
