Managing COMAH actions alongside a site’s other concerns can be complex, but a risk based prioritisation can help.

Following a comprehensive and systematic Process Hazard Analysis, a large list of actions can be produced, some of which can be minor actions to check data or confirm assumptions, and some can be much more involved. If the Process Hazard Analysis is also used to identify additional measures to demonstrate ALARP, this can also add a substantial number of actions to the list.

At KK Risk, we have developed several methodologies for categorising and ranking actions, each being risk-based and linked to the sites individual hazard profile. When this is combined with the site’s overall improvement plan, it is certain that the most important actions will be carried out first and that nothing is missed.

KK Risk can also provide assistance with managing the action plan and the resulting responses, providing a monitoring service to check responses and tracking any follow up actions.
