In under three weeks the Dangerous Substances and explosive atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) come into full force in the UK and with time running out RS, through its updated website, is offering support to help companies comply. The ATEX 137 directive, which is enforced by DSEAR, legislates on how any premises with explosive atmospheres should be classified and operated and is controlled by the Health and Safety Executive. It does not just effect refineries, but anywhere with a potential explosive atmosphere, such as, sanding, solvents, paints and welding environments, with employers having to ensure that they comply with the minimum requirements no later that 30th June 2006.
With time running out, feedback from customers suggests that there are still a large number of businesses struggling to meet the deadline.
Through its new updated website, RS is helping to ease the headache of sourcing ATEX approved equipment with its online category-by-category listing of over 600 ATEX approved products from its entire electrical and mechanical portfolio.
Beyond just sourcing ATEX products, RS is also helping customers understand the requirements DSEAR with information about the regulations and who is affected.
Customers can also cut through the confusion of terminology by looking up key terms in the online ATEX jargon buster.
