Introduction
When preparing a CIMAH (Control of Industrial Major Accident Hazards) Report, Part A is your foundation. It’s where you provide detailed information about your establishment, operations, and key personnel. The Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) uses this section to understand the context and nature of your industrial activities.
What Should Be Included in Part A?
- Establishment Profile
- Registered name and company number
- Full address and contact details
- Site layout including zoning and GPS coordinates
- Details of Activities
- Description of operations and processes
- Types of products manufactured or handled
- Basic flow diagrams showing production or storage processes
- Location & Environmental Considerations
- Surrounding land use and nearby sensitive receptors (e.g., schools, hospitals, rivers)
- Meteorological and geographical data
- Key Personnel & Organizational Structure
- Names and roles of safety personnel
- Contact details of the CIMAH Competent Person (OKMH)
Why It Matters
An accurately completed Part A ensures that DOSH has all the contextual information needed to evaluate Parts B, C, and D. It is the basis for risk identification and assessment in later sections.
Tips for Submission:
- Include updated site layout maps
- Clearly label storage and hazardous material zones
- Ensure contact details are current
