Good morning

I am currently overseas and working on Land drilling sites where crude oil is used as a fuel for large space heaters.
where should I be looking for relevant instructions for control measures-
COMAH? Environmental Permitting regs?

Storage, consumption and Exhaust Emissions are my initial concerns

any guidance would be most appreciated

Depends in the country you are working in...Environmental and General occupational health emissions is where I would go first...

Hope you are not on one the sites I'm visiting next week...Eastern Europe..?

COMAH regs won't give you any specific guidance, COMAH require a safety case to be written once threshold limits have been reached.

Are you really using unrefined crude oil as a fuel?
