The principal aim of the Dangerous Substances (Notification and Marking of Sites) Regulations 1990 – also known as the NAMOS Regulations – is to ensure that firefighters arriving at an incident are warned of the presence of dangerous substances.
It is a legal requirement to notify your local Fire and Rescue Service if you store a quantity of dangerous substances that falls within the threshold of the NAMOS Regulations. The information you provide will be available to operational response firefighters en route to an incident at a marked location. More information on this regulation can be found on the Health & Safety Executive website.
To simplify the notification process, we have produced an online form. Please complete one form per site; once submitted, it will automatically be sent to the relevant departments within the Service.
We will review this information every five years to ensure that it remains accurate. If there are any changes before this timescale (such as an updated phone number or a changed storage location), please submit a new form to us.
