A General Risk Assessment (GRA) is the first step. If the assessment shows potential for an incident involving hazardous substances that could affect members of the public outside your boundary, your site likely qualifies as a Major Hazard Installation (MHI).
The MHI Regulations 2022 (with 2026 updates) require all sites currently classified or potentially qualifying to undergo a formal evaluation through an Approved Inspection Authority (AIA) like mmrisk.
SANS 1461 is the South African National Standard for Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA). It provides the methodology and criteria for assessing risk levels to ensure national consistency.
- Ensures risk assessments follow a scientifically sound, peer-reviewed process.
- Mandatory for all MHI compliance and new development planning.
- Required by local authorities for development approvals near hazardous sites.
In South Africa, a Major Hazard Installation (MHI) risk assessment must be reviewed and resubmitted at least every 5 years. However, immediate updates are required if:
- There is a significant change in the quantities or types of substances stored.
- A process modification changes the site's overall risk profile.
- An expansion project is planned at the site boundary.
