Course outline
The new Seveso III directive has been agreed and work is beginning towards its implementation in revised COMAH regulations which will come into force in June 2015. Key changes will be a change in scope (particularly for toxic substances), and greater requirements for providing public information.
The changes in scope will also affect the need for hazardous substances consent. This seminar, jointly organised with HSL, will highlight the main issues in a series of presentations and will provide opportunity for informal feedback to the regulators concerned with drafting the revision to COMAH.
