Some Part A installations may be subject to the Asbestos,
Petrol Vapour or Titanium Dioxide Directives. Due to the low numbers of affected
Part A installations in these cases and the technical nature of the
requirements, no specific Government guidance is being produced for these
Directives. However, guidance on the relevant requirements can be found in the
General Guidance Manual for the Asbestos and Petrol Vapour Directives and in
technical guidance produced by the Environment Agency for the Titanium Dioxide
Directive.
Some Part A installations may also be
subject to EC-derived legislation on the control of major accident hazards.
Directive 96/82/EC, as amended by Directive 2003/105/EC, aims to prevent major
accidents involving dangerous substances and limit the consequences to people
and the environment of any that do occur. The Directives are implemented in
Great Britain by the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations 1999
(amended in 2005). The Health and Safety Executive and the Environment Agency,
who enforce the COMAH Regulations in England and Wales, work closely together to
avoid potential conflicts between COMAH and other environmental legislation,
such as IPPC. Further information on the environmental aspects of the
legislation is available on the Environment Agency website at:
