Study Notes
Major Accident Hazards
- Six key requirements to prevent and respond to major accidents:
- Identifying and preventing major accident hazards
- Incorporating safety measures and reliability into design, construction, operation, and maintenance
- Creating an on-site emergency plan
- Providing decontamination, remediation, and/or rehabilitation measures in case of an accident
- Providing sufficient information for siting new activities or developments around existing establishments
- Ensuring adequate safety measures and reliability
ERA Report
- An ERA (Environmental Risk Assessment) report should contain:
- Information about the operator and establishment
- Information about the scope of analysis
- Information about hazardous substances or situations present
- Consequences of major accidents, probability, and risk estimation
- Information about the safety management system
Emergency Plan
- An Emergency Plan should:
- Contain or control incidents to minimize effects and limit damage
- Implement measures to protect humans and the environment
- Communicate necessary information to the public and emergency services
- Provide for environmental restoration and clean-up
- The plan should include:
- Names of authorized personnel for emergency procedures
- Person responsible for coordinating on-site mitigatory action and liaising with authorities
- Descriptions of actions to control conditions or events that could lead to a major accident
- Arrangements for limiting risks to persons on-site
Categories of Hazardous Materials
- Explosives: substances or preparations that create the risk of explosion
- Flammable, highly flammable, and extremely flammable substances
- Oxidizing substances
- Toxic substances (low, medium, high, very high, extreme)
- Unclassified (Type A, Type B)
Levels of Hazardous Materials
- Level 1: lower thresholds for hazardous substances (tons)
- Level 2: higher thresholds for hazardous substances (tons)
Criteria for Projects without Toxic/Hazardous Materials
- A project or undertaking without toxic/hazardous materials should assess the possibility of an accident causing:
- Permanent or long-term damage to 10% or 0.5 hectares of the site
- Permanent or long-term damage to 10% of a particular habitat
- Permanent or long-term damage to 10% of a particular species associated with the site
