HFO consultation – two days left!

The Health and Safety Executive has published a consultative document – CD 262 – on draft regulations to implement article 30 of council directive 2012/18/EU, known as the Seveso III directive.
This Directive concerns the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances. Article 30 amends the Seveso II directive (council directive 96/82/EC), in relation to the requirements for Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). The document addresses proposals to amend the Control of Major Accident Hazards Regulations 1999 (COMAH) for HFO and associated amendment to relevant planning requirements.
CD 262 can be accessed at www.hse.gov.uk/consult/condocs/cd262.htm. The questions within it can be completed online, by email or in writing and closes this Friday (18 October 2013).
