INDUSTRIES · COMAH SITES
Prove everyone is accounted for, to the regulator, every time.
Real-time mustering, zone control and lone-worker cover purpose-built for upper- and lower-tier COMAH establishments.
On a Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) establishment, the difference between a controlled response and a fatality is measured in minutes, and the difference between passing and failing an intervention is a defensible record. Paper roll-calls, T-card boards and radio round-robins were never designed for a toxic release, a vapour-cloud explosion or a spreading fire, and they leave you with a head count you cannot prove. The Salvus Network detects every worker's safety tag at Safety Detection Points on gates, muster points and restricted-zone thresholds, turning each read into a live SAFE / EVACUATING / MISSING picture and a timestamped record that writes itself. When the Competent Authority asks how you know everyone was clear of the hazard zone, you show them, rather than tell them.
Regulatory landscape
What the rules require.
COMAH 2015 places two duties at the centre of personnel accountability. Regulation 5 requires a Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP) and, for upper-tier sites, a full safety report demonstrating that all measures necessary have been taken. Regulation 7 requires adequate emergency plans, internal and, via the local authority, external, that can be put into effect without delay. In practice, both hinge on being able to account for people quickly and accurately during a loss of containment. The Salvus Network provides the live head count, the last-seen location for anyone still inside a hazard zone, and the automatic time-to-safe record that evidences an effective emergency plan. It also supports the wider regime around a major-hazard site: DSEAR and the ATEX zoning that governs work in explosive atmospheres, HSG191 guidance on emergency response and, where relevant, the security expectations for sites holding scheduled substances. Every drill and real activation is logged, giving you the audit trail the Competent Authority and your own assurance teams expect.
Where it’s used
Named use cases on comah sites sites.
Loss-of-containment muster
When a release is detected, marshals see a live SAFE / EVACUATING / MISSING rollup within seconds and know exactly who is still inside the affected zone, so rescue effort is directed rather than guessed.
Shelter-in-place accountability
For a toxic release where evacuation is the wrong call, track who has reached a designated refuge and who has not, without anyone leaving cover to be counted.
Restricted-zone and permit control
Gate ATEX-zoned and high-hazard areas to authorised, inducted workers only, with live occupancy against permitted limits and an immediate breach alert.
Assured drills and CA evidence
Every exercise is captured with per-muster rosters, timings and a time-to-safe figure, the documented, demonstrable emergency plan the Competent Authority expects to see.
How Salvus fits
The jobs that matter for comah sites.
Evacuation & Mustering
Roll-call-free mustering that turns a chaotic evacuation into a live, auditable head count in seconds.
Lone Worker Safety
Welfare monitoring that raises an alert when a worker stops moving or misses a check-in, before a bad day becomes a fatality.
Access & Zone Control
Real-time zone occupancy and restricted-area control built on the same network of Safety Detection Points and safety tags.

Frequently asked questions
Is The Salvus Network suitable for comah sites sites?+
Yes. The Salvus Network is a complete, off-the-shelf solution built for upper- and lower-tier COMAH establishments. Safety Detection Points and safety tags give a live, auditable picture of where people were last detected, without turnstiles or manual sign-in.
How does Salvus support compliance for comah sites operators?+
It evidences the two duties at the centre of COMAH 2015: Regulation 5 (major-accident prevention policy and, for upper-tier sites, the safety report) and Regulation 7 (emergency planning), with a live head count, last-seen location and automatic time-to-safe record, alongside DSEAR, ATEX and HSG191.
What does the salvus network address on a comah sites site?+
On a COMAH establishment the difference between passing and failing an intervention is a defensible record. The platform turns every tag read into a live SAFE / EVACUATING / MISSING picture and a timestamped time-to-safe record.
Can we see the salvus network running before we commit?+
Yes, a guided live walk-through shows the platform in action, and you can see the operator console working in the first meeting.
