COMAH Consultancy Services

Senior-Led COMAH Consultancy Services for Major Hazard Sites

COMAH operators often require specialist, strategic input beyond routine compliance support. Major hazard environments demand defensible decision-making, proportionate risk control, and clear regulatory positioning. For this reason, our COMAH Consultancy Services provide direct access to senior-level expertise on a flexible consultancy basis.

At Evolution Safety Solutions, we deliver structured COMAH Consultancy Services at £200 + VAT per hour, providing experienced, multidisciplinary support for Lower-Tier and Upper-Tier COMAH operators across the UK.

• Hazardous materials response

• Chemical engineering and process understanding

Our Fire Consultant brings extensive operational leadership experience within the Fire & Rescue Service, including training and functioning at Silver/Gold Commander level and specialist hazardous materials training.

In addition, our Managing Director is a qualified Chemical Engineer, providing strong technical understanding of industrial processes, hazardous substances, and risk control within complex environments.
