Ryan Lloyd-Davies is CEO and Technical Director of ORBIS Environmental Ltd and the company’s Principal DSEAR Consultant. With around 20 years’ experience in health, safety and compliance, Ryan specialises in DSEAR, ATEX, hazardous area classification, fire and explosion risk, flammable substances and combustible dusts. He has worked across MOD, aviation, fuel, chemical, NHS, prison, manufacturing and emergency response environments. His approach is practical, technically robust and commercially aware, helping clients achieve proportionate compliance that genuinely fits their site and resources.

We work with BCA UK to keep its people safe in some of the most demanding workplace environments. In a recent project, we carried out Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR) assessments across BCA’s higher‑risk sites throughout the UK. Focused training was delivered to the company’s Health and Safety Managers. A blend of on‑site assessment and practical training meant BCA’s in‑house teams could confidently review and manage risk at their lower‑risk locations, using the same principles and best practices applied our specialists.

Mal Roberts, Head of Health & Safety at BCA UK, told us that our support has has been professional from start to finish. Our consultants took time to understand each site, then translated complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance for operational teams. Whether they were inspecting equipment, reviewing processes, or leading classroom‑style sessions, our team consistently demonstrated deep knowledge of DSEAR and wider health and safety legislation.

This expertise built trust quickly. BCA’s managers felt able to ask detailed questions about specific hazards and scenarios, knowing they would receive accurate, practical answers rather than generic advice. The quality of the training also ensured that learning did not stop once the assessments were complete; internal teams were equipped to spot issues earlier, escalate concerns appropriately, and continuously improve safety standards across the estate.

Reflecting on the engagement, Mal Roberts says he would “highly recommend” Orbis Environmental and rates our service as excellent. For organisations operating higher‑risk sites, his experience shows the value of working with a partner who can combine technical compliance with clear communication and hands‑on training. Orbis Environmental not only helped BCA meet its regulatory duties, but also strengthened the safety culture that protects its people every day.
