Hi all, I am currently doing some research into DSEAR assessment prior to booking myself on a course, could anyone recommend any good reading i.e. with zoning details in depth rahter than the usual, I have done a google search and have come up with nothing. I am aware of ISBN 0 7176 2203 7 by the HSE as well as the BS but wondered which were relevant / worth the money

Personally I would start with the ACOP to the regulations.
