COMAH IMPLEMENTATION IN A MULTI-SITE ORGANISATION

摘要

This paper will set out the BP experience in developing a successful multi-site approach to the COMAH Regulations. It will set out the background to COMAH, the key differences between CIMAH and COMAH and the functions of the CA. It will show how a robust and transparent approach is essential in being able to deliver on the COMAH objective in a multisite organisation, that of avoiding catastrophes. Discussion of the ongoing challenge of sustaining the safe management and control of all BP's operations is included. The paper will go on to discuss how the benefits of developing close working relationships with others, including the Competent Authority (CA) can be realised. The paper closes with a brief summary of COMAH and the role of permissioning regimes in the future.
