EXPLANATORY NOTE.

The purpose of these Regulations is to implement Council Directive 82/501/EEC on the major-accident hazards of certain industrial activities and to introduce requirements aimed at preventing and limiting the effects of accidents arising from industrial activities involving dangerous substances.

The Regulations define both the dangerous substances and the categories of industrial activities, including certain types of storage, covered by their provisions.

The Regulations require persons responsible for these activities to be in a position to prove at any time that they have taken all the necessary measures to identify major accidents hazards, prevent such accidents and limit their consequences for man and the environment.

The Regulations define certain activities to be particularly dangerous where dangerous substances exceed certain quantities and a written submission is required in these instances indicating how the requirements of the Regulations are met together with details of on-site emergency plans. Off-site emergency plans are required to be prepared by designated public authorities (local competent authorities) in respect of these activities. In addition, the persons responsible for such activities must supply specified information to persons offsite who may be affected by a major-accident.
