ILO: Prevention of Major Accident Hazards (1991)

Description:

The objective of this code of practice is to provide guidance in the setting up of an administrative, legal and technical system for the control of major hazard installations. It seeks to protect workers, the public and the environment by: preventing major accidents from occurring at these installations; minimising the consequences of a major accident on site and off site, for example by: arranging appropriate separation between major hazard installations and housing and other centres of population nearby such as hospitals, schools and shops; and appropriate emergency planning.

Why this Tool/Guidance?

This guidance assists authorities with setting up rules to ensure appropriate separation between major hazard installations and other facilities/population centers (Chapter 10).
