French
Dutch
Description
With this tool, an enterprise can check whether sufficient measures have been taken to prevent and limit accidents and the serious consequences associated with the storage of explosive substances. The guidance covers both Seveso and non-Seveso companies that store explosive substances.
The measures are grouped according to the hazards of chemicals, i.e. fire, explosion, contamination and intrusion and theft.
Certain measures that are common to different risks occur in the parts that combine multiple risks (fire and explosion, explosion and contamination).
