These Regulations aim to prevent on-shore industrial major accidents and to limit their consequences to people and the environment, and lay down rules for the prevention of major accidents which might result from certain industrial activities sites involving the production, use or storage of dangerous substances at or above certain thresholds, and the limitations of their consequences.
Typical COMAH Substances Found in Industry
In practice, most COMAH sites are captured because they store large quantities of flammable, explosive, toxic, oxidising or environmentally hazardous substances above the threshold quantities specified in Schedule 1.
