Strengthening Chemical Accident Prevention and Preparedness in European Neighbour Countries. Prepared for DG-ECHO by the Major Accident Hazards Bureau and the Natech Project
The Seveso Directive aims at control of major hazards associated with dangerous substances and has existed as
legislation in the European Union since 1982. It was the first comprehensive legislation of its kind in the world and
continues to be a leading model for process safety governance globally. In 2014 DG-ECHO and the Joint Research
Centre agreed on collaboration the implementation of the Seveso Directive by European Neighbourhood Policy countries in support to the Civil Protection Mechanism 2014-2010. The Year 1 strategy for this project aimed at building profiles of country progress in establishing chemical accident and prevention programmes. It also began the first phase in making a selection of analytical tools accessible to support government and industry in their efforts to perform hazard identification and risk analysis and understand results. This document proposes a strategy for Year 2 of the project. The proposal describes a strategy targeted to establish and maintain visibility and direct communication on the project with EU Neighbour Countries, determine a first subset of countries for in order to begin targeted capacity building, and to complete a first set of online tool prototypes for implementation support as well as identify opportunities for further tool development in future.
