  22. Procedure of assessment of safety documentation • Preliminary studying of the document • Detailed studying of the document and filling in of corresponding table ( „checklist“ format) • Elaboration of final document „Statement“ •   MoE                     Related activities • 2x per year workshops on the assessment issue • Meetings with operators, preparators of the documentation and concerned state administration if asked • Methodical help (see below)

  23. Statement about the safety documentation contains: • Identification data about operator´s facility/installation • Assessment of the risk of occurrence of major accident and its possible consequences • Assessment of preventive safety measures • Recommendations on completion of the documentation Date, signature Annexe to system components of the document (general objectives and principles of prevention of MA, safety management system, organisation of prevention of MA, management of the operation of the facility/installation, management of changes in the facility/installation, disaster response planning, monitoring of fulfilment of the programme, control and audit)

  24. General comments on preparation of the documentation :(all components) • Nonrespect of recommendations to prepare the documentation according to the act • Problem of adequate description of the reality of the operator connected to this issue • Safety documentation according to Seveso I had descriptive character, according to Seveso II it shall prove the use of procedures in given situation • Qualification of staff that prepares analysis and risk assessment • Weak application of chemical engineering • Risk Management is a lasting process

  25. Analysis and assessment of risks is the basis !!! Method of analysis and assessment of risk of major accident for preparation of safety documentation according to the act on prevention of major accidents • Definition of risk analysis, determination of depth ofstudy • Creation of a database of information about analysed system (facility/installation)a its surroundings • Identification of sources of risks of major accident • Selection of sources of risks of major accident for risk analysis • Identification of possible causes of major accident • Identification and definition of major accidents scenarios • Selection of representative major accidents scenarios

  26. Definition of the mode of estimation of consequences of representative major accidents scenarios • Definition of the mode of estimation of probability of representative major accidents scenarios • Definition of the risk rate of representative major accidents scenarios • Assessment of acceptability of risks of occurrence of major accidents • Assessment of adequacy of safety and protection measures • Measures to lower the risk of occurrence of major accident

  27. Some insufficiencies and comments on the analysis and assessment of risks • Defined depth of risk analysis is not adequate to identified sources of risks • Insufficient description of technologies, devices, dangerous situations and conditions in the assessed facility/installation, of characteristics of dangerous chemical substances and chemical products • Insufficient account of material • Insufficient or unmatching mapping • Insufficient information about meteorological situation • Insufficient information about surroundings

  28. Incomplete identification of sources of risks and problems with selection of sources of risks for deeper analysis • Problems with systematic approach to search variations from standard situations • Insufficient assessment of reliability of human factor • Insufficient identification of scenarios, including definition of representative scenarios • Inconvenient selection of methods of definition of consequences and insufficient definition of consequences of scenarios on life and health of people, of livestock and environment and property • Problems with assessment of the domino-effect

  29. Probability of events is missing or incredible • Meteorological situation in the given area forgotten • Risk rate not stated as number of graphical presentation of risk rate missing • Assessment of acceptability of risk is missing • Assessment of adequacy of present safety and protection measures is missing • Control of assessment of adequacy of recommended safety and protection measures through new completing risk analysis is missing • A plan to lower the risks, a system and a way of control of the plan´s fulfilment and a system and a way of monitoring of the measures´ effectiveness are all missing • Operator does not accept proposed measures

  30. Some insufficiencies and comments on the safety programme • Evidence of corresponding requirement of safety management system is missing • Brief description of content focus of the document in question is missing • Submission of general statements in the part reserved to system measures, that lead to supposition that operator is in one of the following situation:

  31. Safety management system (SMS) is in operation, but it is described and documented in a wrong way in the document • SMS is not in operation, but a concrete plan how to put it in operation exists (including deadlines and responsibilities), which is nevertheless not described and documented in the document • SMS is not in operation, future operation is not planned, however single safety elements are spontaneously fulfilled thanks to high level of consciousness of the employees • SMS is not in operation, future operation is not planned, single safety elements are not fulfilled    ?  almostincident, incident, accident, major accident !

  32. Statements that should be true • Safety engineering has a correct position • Operator accepts results of the risk analysis and has a functioning risk management system, adequate to sources of risk that have been analyzed • Operator has experts for major accidents prevention • State administration has experts for major accidents prevention and executes effectively land-use planning • Public is adequately informed in the area of major accidents´ prevention • Operator, state administration and public co-operate mutually in order to lower risks reasonably

  33. Summary of main problems: Operator: • Knowledge of basics of analysis and evaluation of risks • Data for risk analysis, material balances • Acceptance of results of risk analysis • Preventive safety measures • Presentation of operator/installation to public • Reflection of incidents: almostincident, incident, accident, major accident

  34. State administration • Knowledge of basics of analysis and evaluation of risks • Conception of accident planning • Relation state administration – operator – public • Room for education • Respect for the state officer

  35. Public • Perception of risk • Easily manipulated by media • Lack of interest • Lack of pride

  36. … and what is going to come next? • Implementation of „Directive 2003/105/EC“  new act • Upgrading of methodical instructions and other materials • Cognitive terminological dictionary– updating 2x per year • Quantitative approach to evaluation of risk • Revision of safety reports • Seminars • Preparation of other assistance materials
