Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Role and Operation of the Health and Safety Authority: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Conor O'Brien:

This is in relation to the Control of Major Accidents and Hazards, COMAH, legislation. Where large concentrations of dangerous chemicals are accumulated, we carry out regular inspections of those sites to make sure they fit in with the standards that are required. Brexit is driving the increase in that, primarily because people who want to avoid stock and supply issues are building up their supplies here. The same is the case with the war in Ukraine. That has driven up people's requirements to increase stock.
