Grangemouth’s Community Warning System will undergo its scheduled bi-annual test on Wednesday 3rd December 2025 at 2.30pm.
The system, operated by Grangemouth Industrial Complex’s Major Incident Control Committee (MICC), is designed to alert the public in the unlikely event of a major incident. During the test, warning tones and verbal instructions will be broadcast via the MICC alarm masts situated at various locations in and around Grangemouth.
Grangemouth residents and visitors do not need to take any action when the system is activated during the test period.
In the unlikely event of an emergency taking place during the test, the message will make this clear, and the public should follow the advice to “Go in, Stay in and Tune in”.
MICC chairman, Derek Brown said “The companies that comprise the MICC [Grangemouth Industries] are committed to public safety. The testing of the warning system provides assurance of its robustness and is just one element of our on-going preparedness and exercising programme. It’s also undertaken to ensure we can communicate effectively with the community, in the unlikely event of a Major Incident at any one of the MICC member companies’ facilities within the Grangemouth area.
“Throughout the year, MICC member companies work closely with the emergency services and Falkirk Council to train and exercise staff and prepare for a wide range of different scenarios.
“We encourage everyone in the Grangemouth community to ensure that they know what to do to keep themselves safe.”
