Book Course
HSL is to run a 1 Day course on COMAH Onshore Major Hazards: New knowledge on flammable hazards.
14 July 2016
This course deals with important flammable risks at Major
Hazards sites for which new knowledge or guidance has become
available recently. It complements the general course ‘COMAH
onshore major hazards: predictive aspects of COMAH’.
The specific risks dealt with include:
Assessment of vapour cloud accumulation at very low wind
speeds (overfill and spray releases). These conditions account for
a very high proportion of major incidents involving flammables.
Explosion modelling for large low-lying vapour clouds
Assessment of risks for packaged chemical storage: drum and IBC
stores and warehouses.
- Carry out vapour cloud dispersion modelling in very low or nil
wind conditions. They will use methods described in FABIG Technical
Note 12 and learn how to extend the scope of this guidance to sites
with slopes. - Carry out explosion analyses for large low-lying clouds
- Carry out simple assessments of the potential effects of
chemical warehouse fires - Advise on controlling the risks from IBC fires.
