The Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations ensuring that businesses: “Take all necessary measures to prevent major accidents involving dangerous substances. Limit the consequences to people and the environment of any major accidents which do occur” The COMAH Regulations implement the Seveso II Directive except for the land-use planning requirements which are implemented by changes to planning legislation. They replaced the Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1984 (CIMAH) and came into force on 1st April 1999. The Regulations are amended from 30 June 2005 to reflect changes to Seveso II. This brief guide outlines the main duties and explains what you need to do if the Regulations apply to you. Their main aim is to prevent and mitigate the effects of those major accidents involving dangerous substances, such as chlorine, liquefied petroleum gas, explosives and arsenic pentoxide which can cause serious damage/harm to people and/or the environment. The COMAH Regulations treat risks to the environment as seriously as those to people. (Source: http://www.hse.gov.uk)
