Report the storage of dangerous substances

Please read the information provided and complete the form to notify us of any dangerous substances.

What are the current requirements in the NAMOS Regulations?

The NAMOS Regulations are based on the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009 (CDG). It is a legal requirement under the NAMOS Regulations to notify the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS) and the enforcing authority for the Health and Safety at Work Act (for example, the Health and Safety Executive/local authority) about any site with a total quantity of 25 tonnes or more of dangerous substances.

A guide to the NAMOS regulations can be located via this link - https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg467.pdf

By law, you must tell us if you store

  • more than 25 tonnes of high nitrogen fertiliser (ie ammonium nitrate) when displaying the oxidising substances symbol 
  • more than 150 tonnes of ‘relevant ammonium nitrate mixtures’ where the fertiliser nitrogen content exceeds 15.75%
  • more than 25 tonnes of dangerous substances, such as flammables, corrosives or oxidisers

You do not need to tell us if

  • the total nitrogen content is less than 15.75%
  • the fertiliser does not contain both ammoniacal and nitric nitrogen
