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. It collaborates with other government parts, including Scotland and Wales, providing statutory land use planning advice on developments around major hazard sites and pipelines to local authorities, duty holders, developers, and the public. MHRAU offers statutory advice on hazardous substances consent applications for proposals involving significant quantities of flammable or toxic substances.

* Maintaining technical policies, methodologies, hazard assessment or risk assessment tools, and supporting guidance.
* Commissioning science and overseeing its delivery.
* Representing HSE at legal appeals, inquiries, and technical gatherings.

Training:
As a Specialist Inspector, you will undergo a two-year Specialist Training Programme (STP) including legal and technical training on occupational health, safety, and major hazard regulation. Successful completion of the programme is required to establish as a practitioner.
