Our commitments to preventing major industrial accidents
We consider preventing major industrial accidents and reducing their potential impact a core responsibility in operations involving hazardous chemicals. Protecting employees, nearby communities and the environment is central to our safety management approach.
Under applicable Seveso and BEKRA obligations, we assess chemical hazards, storage conditions and potential interactions together. We continually improve preventive measures, protective systems and emergency preparedness for accident scenarios.
- 01
Identifying major accident hazards
We assess potential major accident scenarios based on chemical classifications, quantities and process conditions, and review risk analyses when operations change.
- 02
Safe storage and chemical compatibility
We assess interaction risks between chemicals, suitable storage conditions and necessary separation measures, and maintain safe storage practices.
- 03
Reliable preventive and protective systems
We identify detection, fire protection and spill-containment measures required by risk assessments, and maintain their protective function through equipment checks and maintenance.
- 04
Emergency planning and coordination
We keep emergency plans current, reinforce employee responsibilities through training and drills, and improve coordination with fire services and emergency response units.
- 05
Continual improvement of safety management
We track applicable obligations and continually improve major accident prevention using findings from inspections, drills and incident reviews.
