Contractor Management · COMAH Sites
Contractor Management for comah sites sites.
Induction verification and access gating that keep un-inducted contractors out of restricted zones automatically. Purpose-built for the regulatory and operational realities of comah sites.
The Salvus Network ties every worker's Tag to their induction status and zone authorisations. Un-inducted or unauthorised entry to a restricted zone is detected the moment it happens, and the worker can be escorted to the induction centre before they reach the hazard. Contractor headcounts, time-on-site and zone access are all captured automatically — no clipboards, no guesswork at the gate. For comah sites operators, this means 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 reads every worker's Tag at Anchors 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.
What you get

Induction verification
Tags carry induction status; un-inducted entry to restricted zones is flagged instantly.
Zone authorisation
Gate restricted zones to workers who hold the right local induction.
Contractor headcount
Live counts of contractors on site by company and zone.
Time-on-site records
Automatic in/out records for every contractor, ready for billing and audit.
Regulatory alignment
Evidence for the audit trail.
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.
