It is some time since this subject was aired in this Forum. Is anyone prepared to share what thay think is an excellent model MAFF and/or safety report required under COMAH Tier 2. I need to give somebody an appreciation of what is required from a documentation viewpoint and would like to use best practice.

The HSE uses a format for assessing Safety Reports on higher tier sites called SRAM (Safety Report Assessment Manual) http://www.hse.gov.uk/comah/sram/index.htm. If you use this as a template it makes it easier for HSE to assess. Easier for them = less costs as they charge by the hour.
If you follow this you won't go too far wrong. If you haven't done a Higher Tier Safety Report before brace yourself! There is a LOT of work involved and it needs to be inclusive and comprehensive.

Gary,
Thanks for your advice. I checked out the SRAM and this really is a beast of a document! Given my limited experience of writing MAPPs/Safety Reports under COMAH I'm tending to think I need to hire some specialist assistance, at least until a suitable model/process is established - someone who is well practiced in putting together reports for submission. I've no idea where to start to look for such expertise? Any suggestions?

We only fall into lower tier, so no safety report but we do have to have a MAPP which should be a short one page like most H&S policy statements.
I wrote it in line with the guidance Chemical Sheet 3 and it passed muster with HSE when they inspected earlier this year.
I also found some on the internet by searching Google with MAPP
Trust this helps

Lower tier COMAH sites only need to prepare a MAPP and not a safety report. There is a big difference. MAPP only needs to be a page or two setting out policy for how the organisation will deal with risks associated with major hazards. You will need to have some supporting evidence so that you can demonstrate the MAPP is suitable and sufficient.
You need to be very clear about what constitutes a major hazard. Too many organisations still get carried away describing basic health and safety, thus demonstrating they do not have a policy for managing major hazards.
I'm a consultant and would be happy to help!
