We are based here. Not a national firm with a Cardiff postcode and a four-hour round trip built into the quote.
Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock and Haverfordwest are inside twenty minutes. There is no travel charge anywhere in the county.
Pembrokeshire County Council calls the county the Energy Capital of the UK, and the numbers back it up. Two LNG import terminals, an oil refinery, one of Europe's largest gas-fired power stations and a working deep-water port sit along a single stretch of water.
The visible part of that is a handful of very large operators. The part that matters for most readers of this page is the supply chain underneath it: tank cleaning, coatings and blasting, fabrication, scaffolding, marine fuel, haulage, waste, plant hire and inspection. Those firms handle dangerous substances daily, they get audited by their clients, and they are increasingly asked for a DSEAR assessment at pre-qualification rather than after an incident.
If you are bidding for work on the waterway and someone has asked for your DSEAR assessment, that is usually the trigger. It is a document you need before the tender closes, not after.
Port-side workshops, marine services, fuel handling, fish processing and the contractor units serving the terminals.
Marine engineering, fabrication, coatings and freight. Ferry-related fuel and workshop operations.
The county's biggest concentration of light industry and trade units. Paint, solvents, dust extraction and vehicle work.
On the doorstep. Marina businesses, boatyards, workshop fuel systems and estate units.
Farm fuel tanks, grain drying, LPG for crop drying and dust in handling plant. Farms are employers and are in scope like anyone else.
Parks and hotels with bulk LPG, kitchen gas, generator fuel and cellar operations. Usually assessed alongside the fire risk assessment.
If a client, an insurer or an auditor has asked you for something and you are not sure what they mean, ring and read us the wording. It takes two minutes and it is free.
Most Pembrokeshire sites that need a DSEAR assessment also need a fire risk assessment under the Fire Safety Order, and since 1 October 2023 that one has to be recorded in full whatever the size of the business.
Booking them together means one visit, one lot of travel, and two reports written to agree with each other rather than contradict each other. That last part matters more than the saving. We have seen sites where a fire assessment recommended one thing and a DSEAR assessment from a different consultant recommended the opposite.
Yes, and there is no travel charge anywhere in the county. We are based in Milford Haven, so Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock and Haverfordwest are all inside twenty minutes, and Tenby, Fishguard and St Davids are inside forty.
Usually yes. Being local is the whole point. If you have had a visit or an improvement notice, ring and say so and we will get to you ahead of routine work.
We work throughout the supply chain around the Milford Haven Waterway. Access to the major COMAH sites themselves is controlled by the operators and their own permit systems, so that depends on who is engaging us and under what contract.
Yes, and it usually saves money. Most Pembrokeshire sites that need DSEAR also need a fire risk assessment, and doing both in one visit means one set of travel and two reports that agree with each other.
No charge for the conversation. Most quotes go out the same day.
