Job Description:
The Major Hazards Risk Assessment Unit (MHRAU) within CEMHD is responsible for regulating onshore major hazard sites, focusing on assessing risks from Control of Major Accident Hazards’ (COMAH) establishments. The unit collaborates with government bodies, including Scotland and Wales, providing statutory land use planning advice on development around major hazard sites and pipelines to local authorities, duty holders, developers, and the public. MHRAU also offers statutory advice on hazardous substances consent applications for proposals involving significant quantities of flammable or toxic substances. Its activities aim to prevent major accidents and mitigate their consequences, maintaining public safety in land use planning related to major hazards.
The unit's statutory activities cover major hazard onshore installations, including pipelines, under regulations such as:
* The Planning (Hazardous Substances) Regulations (Hazardous Substance Consent, HSC).
* Control of Major Accident Hazard Regulations (COMAH).
* The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order.
Your role will include:
1. Evaluating technical risks to people from COMAH establishments, focusing on hazard risk assessment rather than occupational risk.
2. Providing statutory and commercial advice on risks from onshore major hazard installations and pipelines to stakeholders, including local planning authorities, government departments, and developers.
3. Maintaining technical policy topics, methodologies, hazard assessment tools, and supporting guidance.
4. Commissioning and overseeing scientific research.
5. Representing HSE at land use planning appeals, inquiries, and stakeholder gatherings.
Please note: This role requires occasional site visits across Great Britain, which may involve overnight stays.
Training:
As a Specialist Inspector, you will undergo a two-year Specialist Training Programme (STP) including legal and health and safety training. Successful completion is required. Additional technical training on major hazard regulation and on-the-job training will also be provided to establish your expertise.
