MIIB Recommendation 20
The sector should ensure that the resulting guidance and/or standards is/are implemented fully
throughout the sector, including where necessary with the refining and distribution sectors. The
Competent Authority should check that this is done.
255 The ‘Scope and application’ section of this report sets out how the sector intends to
implement the improvements identified in the management of risk. PSLG’s Principles of Process
Safety Leadership provide the foundation to ensure high reliability organisations. These coupled
with the guidance on the management of operations and human factors in Appendix 5 should
ensure high reliability for human and organisational factors in design, operation, maintenance and
testing.
256 The CA, within its regulatory programme, should check that dutyholders are complying with
this guidance.
257 A new Process Safety Forum has been established to collectively review incidents and share
the lessons and good practice. See Appendix 8 for the Forum’s terms of reference.
258 The CA should check that safety reports submitted for COMAH sites demonstrate
compliance with this and other guidance.
MIIB Recommendation 21
The sector should put in place arrangements to ensure that good practice in these areas,
incorporating experience from other high hazard sectors, is shared openly between
organisations.
MIIB Recommendation 22
The Competent Authority should ensure that safety reports submitted under the COMAH
Regulations contain information to demonstrate that good practice in human and organisational
design, operation, maintenance and testing is implemented as rigorously as for control and
environmental protection engineering systems.
