Specific Content SAFETY REPORT (ref. SEVESO I and II, with additional notesconsidering SEVESO III)
Sections of the Directivesrelevant to this presentation96/82/EC Directive (Seveso II) as amended by 2003/1005/CEarticle 9/ article 10 - Safety Report andAnnex II – Minimum data to be considered in the Safety Report Additional Notes based on SEVESO III ANNEX II minimum data Safety Report and ANNEX III – Safety Management System
General obligations of the operator A clear general requirement is imposed on the operator of a Seveso-type establishment (article 5 of the Directive). More specifically: “…the operator is obliged to take all necessary measures to prevent major accidents and, in the case of such an accident, to limit its consequences for man and the environment” “…the operator is required to prove, at any time, to the public authority responsible for carrying out the duties under the Directive (so-called Competent Authority) that he has taken all the necessary measures as specified in the Directive”.
Obligations of the operator – Safety report UT article 9/ 10 Member states shall require the operator of an Upper Tier establishment to produce a safety report for the purpose of demonstrating that • a major accident prevention policy (MAPP) and a safety management • system (SMS) have been put into effect; • major-accident hazards are identified and necessary measures have been • taken to prevent such accidents and to limit their consequences for man and • the environment; • adequate safety & reliability have been incorporated into the design, • construction, operation and maintenance of any installation; • internal emergency plans have been drawn up, supplying information to • enable the external emergency plan to be drawn up; • information for land-use planning decisions has been given.
Task of the Competent Authority in relationtosafetyreports (1) • The Competent Authority is required to examine the safety report and to • communicate the conclusions of its examination to the Operator. • Before finalizing these conclusions, the Competent Authority may request • further information from the Operator; in addition an inspection of the • establishment, in accordance with Article 18, “Inspections” may be carried • out to verify whether the information contained in the safety report • corresponds with the situation as it is in reality. • The conclusions should generally be in written form, and they should make • reference to the date of the safety report in question and any other • supplementary documentation reviewed for this purpose. • A pro forma statement by the Competent Authority that the safety report has been • received and seems complete will not be sufficient.
Task of the Competent Authority in relation tosafetyreports (2) The conclusionsshould make reference to general conclusions based on the safety report in general and to specific cases of accuracy where individual examples have been examined in detail. Deficiencies and inaccuracies must be described where identified, however it is not expected that the competent authority should identify every single inaccuracy. Note:a large number of deficiencies and inaccuracies may lead the competent authority to reject the safety report and require that a revised document is submitted.
In Summary • The Competent Authority • examines the Safety Report • requests further information from the operator (if necessary) • decidestoallow or • prohibit (Art. 17/ art 19) the bringing into use or continued use • of the establishment • communicates conclusions to the operator.
Article 9/10: Safety Reports This article of the Directive requires that an operator of an upper-tier Seveso type establishment produce a safety report In the Seveso II Directive(96/82/EC) significant additional requirements (including the MAPP and SMS) were introduced as part of a more comprehensive “safety report”.
THRESHOLDS • Annex I • Two categories based on quantities stored • Lower Tier • Upper Tier • Upper Tier has more responsibilities
REQUIREMENTSLOWER TIER • General Obligations • Notification • Major Accident Prevention Policy • Modifications • Accident Reports • Cooperation with Authorities
OBLIGATIONSUPPER TIER • Lower Tier Obligations and • Safety Report (incl. MAPP & SMS) • Internal Emergency Plans • Information to Public
The requirements for policies and management systems which apply to a lower tier establishment are: similar to those for an upper tier establishment except that: • the Directive states that the requirements should be proportionate to the major-accident hazards presented by the establishment, • it is not necessary to prepare a detailed report for demonstrating how the Safety Management System has been put into effect; • the document setting out the MAPP must be ‘made available’ but need not necessarily be sent to the competent authorities.

I. Information on the management system and on the organization of the establishment with a view to major accident preventionThis information shall contain the elements given in Annex III. (a) the major accident prevention policy (MAPP) should be established in writing and should include the operator's overall aims and principles of action with respect to the control of major-accident hazards; (b) the safety management system (SMS) should include the part of the general management system which includes the organizational structure, responsibilities, practices, procedures, processes and resources for determining and implementing the major-accident prevention policy (7 SMS issues described in detail); • organizationandpersonnel • identification and evaluation of major hazards • operational control • management of change • planning foremergencies • monitoring performance • audit and review
II. PRESENTATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE ESTABLISHMENT A. description of the site and its environment including the geographical location, meteorological, geological, hydrographic conditions and, if necessary, itshistory; B. identification of installations and other activities of the establishment which could present a major-accident hazard; C. description of areas where a major accident may occur.
III. DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTALLATION A. description of the main activities and products of the parts of the establishment which are important from the point of view of safety, sources of major-accident risks and conditions under which such a major accident could happen, together with a description of proposed preventive measures; B. description of processes, in particular the operating methods; C. description of dangeroussubstances: 1. inventory of dangerous substances including: — the identification of dangerous substances: chemical name, CAS number, name according to IUPAC nomenclature, — the maximum quantity of dangerous substances present or likely tobe present; 2. physical, chemical, toxicological characteristics and indication of hazards, both immediate and delayed for man and the environment; 3. physical and chemical behaviour under normal conditions of use or underforeseeableaccidentalconditions.
