Please select the type(s) of notification that you are including in this notification. On clicking Next> you will be taken to the appropriate section(s) of the form, where you can provide the required information. Each section can be filled in multiple times if required.

Please indicate the types of notification to be included. At least one must be selected.

Regulation 20, Schedule 4: Before Construction

Regulation 21: Before use or re-use

Regulation 22(1): Change of operator

Regulation 22(2) and 22 (3), Schedule 5: Other changes

Before construction notification (Reg 20, Schedule 4)

About notifying before construction activities

Regulation 20 requires that the construction of a new major accident hazard (MAH) pipeline should not start until the operator has notified HSE at least six months prior to the start of construction.

Details required are listed at Schedule 4 of the PSR.

Multiple Construction Sites: Under Regulation 20 if construction of a MAH pipeline occurs at more than one location (i.e. onshore, offshore or a combination of both) and in more than one stage, notification to HSE should occur at least 6 months before the first stage begins. Construction of the pipeline under these circumstances is deemed to start at the first stage on land and not at the subsequent stage offshore.

Please provide the required details for the construction notification and click "Add" to record the notification. Repeat for any additional construction notifications. Once all construction notifications have been entered click "Next >" to move on to the next section.

Estimated timescales

Estimated Timescales Field Help

Please provide best estimates of dates when pre-fabrication or construction site works are scheduled to commence and the date when dangerous fluids will be first introduced into the pipeline.

It is understood that these dates may change but that operators will update HSE on this via the established contact route, as required.

*Estimated date construction will begin

Operational date cannot be earlier than Construction date

*Details of the planning authority areas the pipeline will pass through

Details of Planning Authority Areas Field Help

These details are required for onshore pipelines only to enable LUP planning advice to be given to all the Local Planning Authority areas where the pipeline will pass through. Simply provide the names of all the relevant Planning Authorities; e.g. Aberdeenshire, Angus etc.

Before use/re-use notification (Reg 21)

Under regulation 21, HSE requires 14 days prior notification of the intention to bring a major accident hazard (MAH) pipeline into use.

This regulation also applies where a pipeline is to be brought back into use after it has been taken out of commission (other than where the circumstances were routine maintenance, planned or emergency repair).

Please provide the required details for the use/re-use notification and click "Add" to record the notification. Repeat for any additional use/re-use notifications. Once all use/re-use notifications have been entered click "Next >" to move on to the next section.

*Date the pipeline is to be first used or re-used

Change of operator notification (Reg 22(1))

The operator of a MAH pipeline may change at any time throughout the life of a pipeline.

Under regulation 21, any change of operator must be notified to the HSE within 14 days of the change.

If a pipeline is transferred from one operator to another, there must be sufficient information passed to the new operator so that the relevant duties can be complied with.

Please provide the required details for the change notification and click "Add" to record the notification. Repeat for any additional change notifications. Once all change notifications have been entered click "Next >" to move on to the next section.
