Location Compliance Certification

Location compliance certificates are a check by a Compliance Certifier that your hazardous substance location complies with specific aspects of the Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations, think of it a bit like a WOF.. If you store over the threshold quantities of certain hazardous substances at your site, then you may need a Location Compliance Certificate. Your Location Compliance Certificate will be issued for a period of 1 year (or in some cases 3 years), after which the Compliance Certifier needs to revisit your property and do another check to ensure compliance.

Chemsafety have four Location Compliance Certifiers on the team who can help you gain a location compliance certificate for your hazardous substances store. We can certify:

    • Location Compliance Certification classes 2 – 5, 6 and 8

Our Compliance Certifier will visit your site and ensure that your hazardous substance store is compliant with the Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations.
Items to be checked for compliance include security, emergency management, certified handlers, signage, fire extinguishers and separation distances.
