Epsilon Site safety Services

Epsilon is a leading provider of ATEX (DSEAR) Site Safety and has developed unique tools to make implementation faster and more effective, including inspection database systems and area classification software.  Epsilon Site Service Engineers include Process and Chemical Engineers together with Inspection and Risk Assessment Engineers to cover the full range of skills required for implementation across all industries. Or Site Safety Engineers are passionate about what they do and we have staff undertaking MSc and PhD research specifically in Explosion Protection to keep innovating and setting the standard for consultants in this field.

Epsilon has completed many full ATEX 137 and DSEAR implementations, from small sites through to COMAH sites across a wide range of industries. We use defined procedures and state of the art tools such as PHAST and have also developed a unique suit of software to assist with implementation and control of ATEX137 and DSEAR, this includes comprehensive inspection databases and the world’s first dedicated area classification software specifically written to comply with ATEX requirements!

Epsilon understands that it can be very difficult to decide who, if anyone, to partner when you are trying to achieve ATEX 137 or DSEAR compliance (or general acceptable safety levels from the risk of fire or explosion), at Epsilon we simply say ‘have a look at the projects we have completed’- you are invited to review our internal procedures and methodology, our past work and the tools we have developed to make ATEX 137 and DSEAR compliance manageable and affordable. We believe we can tangibly demonstrate that we are the leading ATEX 137 and DSEAR compliance solution provider and we invite you to review our solutions.
