OECD & IMO: Guidance concerning Chemical Safety in Port Areas (1996)

Description:

This guidance provides an overview of the roles and responsibilities of the various parties concerned with chemical accident prevention, preparedness and response in port areas. It was prepared to complement existing guidance materials from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and to encourage and facilitate their implementation.

The guidance in this document addresses issues specific to port areas including issues to the ship-port interface, the interface with other transport modes serving the port area which carry hazardous cargoes and other aspects of the handling and storage of such cargoes in port areas. 

Why this Tool/Guidance?

This document should be used, along with other IMO and OECD guidance in this field, as a basis for establishing a framework for legislation and regulations related to chemical safety in port areas, as well as for developing and implementing policies and practices by all parties in the port areas.
