Management Scheme Elements

Development Phase

GOAL

Choose the relevant elements to include in Chemical Accidents Programme, and develop a strategy for moving forward, taking into account the assessment report as well as the political, legal and cultural context.

Suggested activities include:

  • Review the information gathered in the assessment phase
  • Evaluate political imperatives, local considerations, and related activities
  • Elaborate a strategy for moving forward, identifying the steps to be taken, issues to be addressed, resource needs, and deadlines
  • Review the list of elements to identify which to choose and adapt 
  • Create a draft Chemical Accidents Programme

Implementation Phase

GOAL

Undertake the steps necessary to execute the various elements of the Chemical Accidents Programme

At this point, it is assumed that the government has identified the elements of the Chemical Accidents Programme, and these are reflected in legal documents, policy statements and/or guidance materials.  

This phase involves five steps, not necessarily in this order.  Some of these steps are closely linked and some are of a continuing nature:

  • Identify and secure the  resources needed (including financing, staff and equipment)
  • Determinie what types of information is needed and create the means to collect or generate, as well as share, the information
  • Establish appropriate administrative and legal structures, including assigning roles and responsibilities
  • Provide leadership to inspire action by government, industry and others
  • Enforce the Programme, creating means for identifying non-compliance and imposing appropriate sanctions for non-compliance
