Delivering on our promises

  9. Initial conclusions on implementation of Directive • Inspections • Upper tier establishments • 79% had annual inspections • 86% inspected over the previous three years Add a coloured transparent segment and caption if required. Delivering on our promises

  10. Initial conclusions on implementation of Directive • Inspections • Lower tier establishments • 77% inspected over the previous three years Add a coloured transparent segment and caption if required. Delivering on our promises

  11. Initial conclusions on implementation of Directive • Overall compliance with provisions on domino effect and land-use planning. • Lessons learned are valuable and to be further encouraged • IT tools for monitoring implementation available in 8 Member States Add a coloured transparent segment and caption if required. Delivering on our promises

  12. Recommendations on reporting • Next reporting: • Clarify dates for the data to be reported – variations in responses • Emphasise sharing of actual practices and practical steps taken • Encourage sharing of lessons learned • Feedback from Member States on simplifying / improving reporting questionnaire?

  13. Trends on major accidents and establishments • Since, 2005, gradual increase of establishments under the scope of Directive

  14. Trends on major accidents and establishments • Since, 2005, gradual decrease in number of accidents and incidents reported per establishments NB: the data provided by MAHB for the last period are stillpreliminary

  15. Seveso Directive III4 July 2012 Seveso Directive II9 December 1996 Seveso Directive I24 June 1982 Tentative correlationbetween the directive and the trends on major accident

  16. Trends on major accidents and establishments • Several approaches to estimating socio-economic impacts of accidents • UK – HSE • France – information by categorisation in ARIA • Germany – direct cost of losses in ZEMA • In eMARS, only few information on socio-economic impacts of accidents ; some detailed reports provide information

  17. Trends on major accidents and establishments • Extrapolating HSE costs estimate Rough estimate only – more work needed!

  18. BenchmarkingMethodology • Background - Better Regulation Agenda and upcoming Commission report under Article 29 • Five steps: • 1st step: Identification of the accident databases; • 2nd step: Cleaning and compilation of the data; • Identification of major accidents in the databases • Merging of the data • 3rd step: Compilation of the number of reported major accidents; • 4th step: Building meaningful statistics; • Ratio with population • Ratio with GDP • 5th step: Analysis of the statistics. Add a coloured transparent segment and caption if required. Delivering on our promises

  19. BenchmarkingResults: Number of reported major accidents by period Add a coloured transparent segment and caption if required. Delivering on our promises

  20. BenchmarkingResults: Number of reported major accidents per GDP (thousands of billions of $) per period Add a coloured transparent segment and caption if required. Delivering on our promises

  21. BenchmarkingResults (2) • Difficult to compare objectively reported major accidents in the EU with other countries • Lack of major accident definition • Difficulty of accessing data • Significant and continuous decrease of the number of reported major accidents in the EU • Differences of reporting of major accidents in eMARS and the other databases • Very preliminary work – more work needed! Add a coloured transparent segment and caption if required. Delivering on our promises

  22. IndicatorsMethodology • Upcoming report under article 29 of the Seveso III Directive • Better Regulation Guidelines • Other source of indicators • Review of guidelines on safety indicators • OECD • UNECE • CCPS • UN • INERIS • Metrics • Targeted public • Types of indicators suggested • Aspects to be monitored. Add a coloured transparent segment and caption if required. Delivering on our promises

  23. IndicatorsResults • Categories of indicators • Measuring safety achievements and identifying rooms for improvements requires the combination of different types of indicators. • Implementation and enforcement • Compliance • Intermediate outcomes of concern • Final outcomes of concern • Series of indicators based on five evaluation criteria • Many unidentified data needs • Stakeholder engagement • Literature review • Prioritisation of the indicators • Very preliminary work – more work needed! Add a coloured transparent segment and caption if required. Delivering on our promises
