COMPETENT AUTHORITIES DUTIES (2)Art. 11/12+Annex IV/IV: Draw up External
Emergency Plans for measures outside establishment
Art.12/13: Implement Policy on Land Use Planning,when new establishments sited, modification of existing and new developments adjacent
Art.13/14+Annex IV/V : Supply information to the public regularly/electronically, spontaneously and appropriately, on the basis of information on Safety Measures provided by Operator
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
COMPETENT AUTHORITIES DUTIES (3)Art. 15/18 : Supply information to the Commission following major
accidents
Art. 17/19: Prohibiting from or bringing into use establishments and supplying information to the Commission accordingly upon actiononly 2 reasons:1•safety measures taken by the operator are seriously deficient2•no submission of Notification (Art. 6/6), Safety Report (Art. 9/10) or other information by the Operator
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
COMPETENT AUTHORITIES DUTIES (4)Art.18/20: Organize system of inspections or
other measures of control appropriate to establishment concerned (min 1x/y for UT and 1x/3y LT unless based on systematic appraisal MAHs)
Art. 19/21: Exchange information with Commission on experience acquired on major accidents & incidents occurred and 3-yearly report on the implementation.
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
COMPETENT AUTHORITIES DUTIES (5)Art. 21and 22/27:
Seveso II Committee of Competent Authorities (CCA) for:
- regulatory procedures, adaptation to technical progress
- exchanging information with the Commission - providing guidance
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
Operators draw up Major Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP). Lower tier est. make MAPP available to CA anytime and during inspections. Upper tier est. include it in Safety Report
Operators’ aims & measures to control hazards as per the Safety Management System:
organisationidentification/evaluation of major hazardsoperational controlmanagement of changeplanning for emergenciesperformance monitoringaudit and review
MAPP: An obligation for all Operators

Inspections – Art 20Inspection plan (National, Regional or Local)covering all Seveso establishments, to include• general safety assessment• info on domino-effects• info on particular external risks/hazards• procedures for routine/non-routine inspections• cooperation between inspection authoritiesBased on this, competent authority to establishprogrammes for routine inspections includingfrequency of site visits
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
Inspections – Art 20One year (UT)/three year (LT) frequencyUnless inspection programme is based on a systematic appraisal of major-accident hazardsSystematic appraisal based on (1) potential impact on health and environment and (2) compliance (Note IMPEL: IRAM Easy Tools model)
Conclusions sent to operator within 4 months – action!No action may lead to prohibition/closureAdditional inspection in 6 months if serious non compliance

Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
SEVESO III - Domino Effect• Article 9 - Competent authority to• identify domino effect also by activelyrequesting additional information• inform operators• Article 20 – inspection plan to include lists
ofestablishments with potential domino effect• Article 24 – Commission may develop
guidanceon safety distance and domino effect• Annex IV(2)(e) domino effect has to beconsidered in external emergency plans
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
Land Use Planning - Art 13• Notion of appropriate safety distance• For areas of natural sensitivity, other relevantmeasures can be taken• Operators to provide sufficient information on therisks (lower-tier upon request)• Public consultation – better procedures andcoordination possible with procedures under EIAand SEA Directives
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
Information – Art 14, Annex VAll establishments (also LT) - Annex V informationpermanently available electronically• dangerous substances• appropriate behaviour in case of an accident• last site visit (inspection) or electronic referenceindication where more info can be obtained upon
request
UT - inform on main accident scenarios measuresUT - appropriate info from external emergency plansUT - inform if establishment close to other Member State
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
For upper-tier establishments, Member States shall also ensure that:
(a)all persons likely to be affected by a major accident receive regularly and in the most appropriate form, without having to request it, clear and intelligible information on safety measures and requisite behaviour in the event of a major accident;
Article 14- Information to the Public: active provision of information – not just on request!
Information shall include at least ANNEX V info and supplied to allBuildings and areas of public use (schools, hospitals, neighbouring Establishments)

Information - confidentialityArticle 22: Any information held by competentauthorities- available upon request- in line with Directive 2003/4/EC = strictprocedural rules and refusal only for limitedGrounds (under Seveso II only safety report andinventory of substances in case of UT)- intellectual property/security?Article 17(e): Competent authorities to inform persons likely to be affected when an accident has happend
This Project is funded by the European Union
Project implemented by Human Dynamics Consortium
Public participation – Art 15Article 15 – sets/refers to detailed procedural rulesin relation to participation in land use planning• specific individual projects (rules set)• general plans and programmes (reference toDirective 2003/35/EC)= inform public, duly take into accountcomments and motivate final decisionArticle 12(5) - public concerned must be givenearly opportunity to give its opinion on externalemergency plans
This Project is funded by the European Union
