Description
- If our plant catches fire, when should it be allowed to burn down to prevent pollution?
- When does enforcement turn into
prosecution, following an environmental accident?
- Will our environmental insurance cover the costs of remediation?
This book provides a thorough and practical guide to the environmental aspects of compliance with the Seveso II Directive and COMAH
regulations and surrounding issues.
It guides readers through the technical, legal and insurance related complexities unique to the
environmental aspects of Seveso II/COMAH. Individual chapters and sections written by relevant experts explain the implications of the
Directive/Regulations and other laws that relate to major accident hazards. Valuable case studies underpin and illuminate the arguments
presented.
The comprehensive appendices contain a wealth of further case studies as well as focused supporting information on environmental
design, assessment and management of major hazard installations, for safety, prevention and environmental professionals, risk assessors,
insurers, managers and their legal advisors.
