HSE research reports: major accident hazard pipelines (MAHPs) modelling

Pipelines above ground

New research reports on MAHPs now available

MAHPs, such as the natural gas network, have the potential to harm people in the event of an unplanned release of a dangerous substance.

As a statutory consultee for Land Use Planning applications in the vicinity of MAHPs, HSE provides advice aimed at mitigating the potential harmful effects in the event of an incident. We use a quantified risk assessment approach which uses mathematical models of potential hazards and their consequences.

HSE runs an ongoing research programme to assess the suitability of these models.

For more on MAHPs, download the 2023Annual Science Reviewtoread our case study: Development of an optimised MAHPs data repository.
