Facilities under Major Accidents Ordinance

Large quantities of hazardous substances are present in your plant?

We assess to what extent you are subject to the Major Accidents Ordinance (without obligations, basic obligations, extended obligations) and prepare the disclosure documents for the authorities.

For or together with you, we analyse your risks using standardized procedures (PAAG or HAZOP procedure, failure effect analysis, fault tree analysis, risk method) and prepare the results according to the requirements of the Major Accidents Ordinance and the recommendations of the Commission for Plant Safety (formerly Incident Commission and Technical Committee for Plant Safety).

We calculate the spread of accidental releases of substances.

If you are subject to the basic obligations, we will create a concept for the prevention of major accidents including the safety management system in close co-operation with you..

If you are subject to the extended obligations, we will create your safety report, including the security management system as well as the internal alarm and emergency plan (AGAP) and draw up a paper to inform the public about your security measures (flyer, brochure, advertisement, etc.).

Please feel free to contact us.

Note:
Effective management of substances can prevent a facility to be classified as under the Major Accidents Ordinance.
