Provides guidance to those who control the operation establishments where COMAH applies - referred to as operators in the regulations.

Such a document sets out your policy with respect to the prevention of major accidents. Contents: What's new? What's not new? What is a MAPP? When does your MAPP document have to be ready? Who will need to see your MAPP document? What should go in your MAPP document? Roles and responsibilities of personnel at all levels involved in the management of major hazards; Training; Hazard identification and risk assessment; Procedures and instructions for safe operation; Design modifications of installations; Identification of forseeable emergencies and the preparation, test and review of emergency procedures; When should I update it? What do I need to do next? Where can I get more advice? References |
