COMAH Regulations

The Control of Major Accidents Hazards (COMAH) Regulations are UK rules designed to prevent serious accidents involving dangerous substances in industries such as chemical plants or oil refineries. They require companies to assess risks, implement safety measures, and plan responses in case of emergencies. The goal is to protect people, the environment, and property by ensuring safe handling, storage, and management of hazardous materials. Regulators monitor compliance to minimize the chance and impact of major accidents, promoting a safer industrial environment.
