The purpose of this SPC is to provide ongoing inspection guidance on the location and design of occupied buildings at both lower and top tier COMAH sites, and also highlight the importance of ensuring that the national project (which finished in 2006) is completed at all the COMAH top tier sites to which it applied.
In all cases, operators need to assess the risks to people in occupied buildings on site from fire, explosion and toxic hazards, and, where necessary, identify measures to reduce those risks to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). A timebound action plan should be agreed where remedial measures will take time to implement.
