Under the COMAH 2015 regulations, operators must take all measures necessary to minimise the risk of major accidents.
To protect our planet, we must evaluate and manage the risk posed to the environment by our hazardous substances and processes.
We provide specialist advice on developments in proximity to major hazard sites and pipelines under the land use planning framework.
Since 1993, RAS has grown from a small team in the North West to a leading risk management consultancy, working with top companies in energy, pharmaceuticals, and specialist chemicals worldwide. We’ve been part of major industry projects, constantly evolving to provide expert, up-to-date advice.

"RAS Ltd has been working with us on the Valuation of the Environment for COMAH Cost Benefit Analysis (Phases 2 and 3). They are thorough, responsive to our members' input, and offer reasonable project pricing."
"We worked with RAS Ltd for a comprehensive risk assessment on storage of flammable liquified gas. They clearly laid out pros and cons of different options, helping us make more informed decisions. They also handled our hazardous substance consent application and prepared a detailed flood zone risk assessment for planning permission, all to a very high standard. Their expertise in process and technical safety was evident throughout, and I would highly recommend them to any company needing professional safety advice."
"Following our registration as a Lower Tier COMAH establishment, our site in Elton engaged with RAS to provide us with identification and evaluation of the sites major hazard scenarios, Safety & Environment risk assessment (CDOIF methodology) and to demonstrate safe design and ALARP. The RAS team were attentive to detail, had a positive attitude and were flexible throughout the project. They took an effective, systematic approach to the tasks and delivered a high quality report, on time, that fully satisfied the requirements of our authorities."

Implementing simple changes in behaviours and attitudes can go a long way to reducing the burden of the COMAH review process, streamlining the path to successful results.
