Skyview has worked within the manufacturing and industrial sectors since our beginning and understand that site requirements can vary enormously depending on the nature of your business. Whether helping top-tier COMAH sites to adhere to strict COMAH regulations to prevent, control and mitigate the risks and effects of major chemical accidents, or facilitating odour management and control for factories within the food, beverage and pet food sectors, Skyview has you covered.
Industry Partners
Skyview works with a host of top tier COMAH-compliant clients, and operators of sites using or storing dangerous substances, as well as long established companies such as Nestle Purina, supplying food, beverage and pet produce to households across the UK. We are proud to play a key role in enabling safe operations and legislative compliance.
Skyview has designed systems to comply with stringent COMAH regulations, providing reliable, accurate and historical data sources for critical safety decision-making. For top-tier COMAH sites, we provide bespoke equipment to provide wind speed and direction data in particular, to provide vital reassurance that emergency service staff and other site personnel are not likely to run into any hazardous situations on arrival and be exposed to toxic gases whilst carrying out potentially life-saving duties.
For other manufacturing and industrial sites, our systems allow for careful monitoring of meteorological and environmental conditions to evaluate the impact of dust and odour on the locality, and therefore reducing the impact on local communities and the environment. Our specialist engineers will meet with your team to establish your individual requirements, and to ensure we meet your compliance needs.

Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations 2015
Upper Tier Operators
Operators of sites where the quantities of dangerous substances are used or stored meet or exceed the upper thresholds laid out in the COMAH Regulations, are classed as “upper” or “top tier” sites.
As laid out by the Health & Safety Executive, top tier operators are required to have a major accident prevention policy (MAPP) to show that arrangements for the control of major accident hazards are in place, as well as limiting the impact to people and the environment of any that do occur.
Among other factors, the safety report must include:
• a detailed description of the possible major accident scenarios and their probability or the conditions under which they might occur including a summary of the events which may play a role in triggering each of these scenarios;
• measures (such as safe plant and safe operating procedures) to prevent and mitigate major accidents;
• details of measures to limit the consequences of any major accident that might occur; and
• information about the emergency plan for the site, which is also used by the local authority in preparing an external emergency plan.
“You should prepare, keep up-to-date, and have readily available the information on process hazards, design limits, operational limits and controls coming from the hazard identification and risk evaluation procedures…. In particular, these procedures should cover: External hazards, including those arising from natural hazards (including weather).” - COMAH Regulations 2015
For establishments dealing with potentially toxic or poisonous gases and chemicals, any extreme weather or rapid changes in calm weather conditions could have a disastrous impact on operational staff, emergency service personnel and local communities if not monitored closely, accurately and consistently. Skyview’s wide range of weather monitoring equipment, coupled with the expert guidance of our experienced engineers, allows us to advise, design, install, service and calibrate bespoke systems to ensure top tier safety and compliance for all areas of your business.
