Summary
This course has been updated to reflect the new CDOIF guidance!
COMAH aka Control of Major Accident Hazards, is enforced by the Competent Authority in Great Britain to ensure the necessary measures are in place to prevent major accidents with hazardous substances from occurring and limit the consequences to people and the environment. COMAH provides detailed procedures which are to be followed in order for safety to be achieved across all levels.
Being a newbie to the world of COMAH can be a bit of a minefield. At TÜV Rheinland we often see such issues around companies who have just become a COMAH site and are unaware of the requirements of COMAH and employees who are newly employed to COMAH sites. We at TÜV Rheinland are offering a 1 day course on an introduction to COMAH.
The course is aimed at delegates who are new entrants into Upper Tier COMAH with little to no experience in COMAH. The course will be delivered through a mixture of presentations and syndicate tasks.
What the course will cover
The course is designed to give delegates an introduction to COMAH and will cover such topics as:
- Why do I need COMAH?
- Qualifying for COMAH
- What's included in a COMAH report?
- When do I need to do a COMAH report?
- What are the prompts to make you update your COMAH report?
- How can I utilise my COMAH report?
The benefits:
- Learn about COMAH process safety hazards
- Understand why your site qualifies as a COMAH site
- Learn how to structure your COMAH report and satisfy the requirements of the competent authority
- Learn how to use your COMAH report in an effective way
- Gain understanding around why COMAH is necessary
- Network with peers and gain experience from other industry sectors and organisations
