The objective of the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 2015 (COMAH) is to take all necessary measures to prevent major accidents involving dangerous substances and to limit the consequences to people and the environment of any major accidents that do occur. Application
Major accidents are events that have the potential for catastrophic consequences in relation to human health and safety and serious environmental impact. They are associated with fires, explosions, serious damage to plant and uncontrolled release of toxic or other dangerous substances.
This organisation recognises that major accidents are credible business risks and that the management of those risks should have equal focus with other business processes.
A fire risk assessment is a methodical look at a company’s premises, the activities undertaken within it, how fire safety is managed, the potential for a fire to occur and the harm it could cause to the people in and around the area. Existing fire safety measures are then evaluated to establish if they are adequate, or if more is required to be done.
