Attend our free virtual summit:

Tuesday 6 October, 14:00 (BST)
 

Chemical substances used on a site that is regulated under the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulation can be hazardous and dangerous.Those in charge of ensuring safety (e.g. COMAH or health and safety managers); have a tactical or strategic responsibility for on-site emergency response or lead a corporate crisis management team.

For this summit, NCEC's experts will be joined by crisis, hazmat and COMAH specialist and they will discuss planning and implementing a proportionate response, based on best practice, to an incident at a chemical site.

The speakers will talk through various real-life incidents to help attendees understand the risks at every stage of incident response. The panel will discuss:

• Horizon scanning for new hazards or threats that may cause potential emergencies.
• Analysis of situations to understand the likelihood of an emergency occurring and the impact it would have on people, the environment, assets and an organisation's reputation and legal responsibilities.
• Activities to reduce the likelihood of an emergency.
• Developing and validating emergency plans to test response arrangements for known risks and unforeseen events.
• The decisions and actions that can be taken to deal with the immediate effects of an emergency.
• The intersection between emergency management and the corporate crisis response.
• Best practice for the corporate response to an incident at a COMAH site.
• The process of rebuilding, restoring and rehabilitating after a crisis.
