Societal Risk: Initial briefing to Societal Risk Technical Advisory Group

The Societal Risk Technical Advisory Group is made up of a small number of academic, industry and government specialists who have been asked to advise HSE and departments on matters identified by respondents to the consultation exercise CD212 (Proposals for revised policies to address societal risk around onshore non-nuclear major hazard installations’) on the estimation of societal risk from on-shore, non-nuclear, major hazard installations. This report captures some of the technical matters relating to societal risk methodology and presents the technical issues which need to be resolved prior to the development and implementation of any system for explicit attention to societal risk in the application of the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations (COMAH) and land-use planning (LUP).
