15. Information to be given to persons liable to be affected by a major accident. - (1) The occupier shall take appropriate steps to inform persons outside the site who are likely to be in an area which might be affected by a major accident at any site on which an industrial activity under his control to which this Rule applies is carried on either directly or through the District Emergency Authority about-

(a) the nature of the major accident hazard; and

(b) the safety measure and the correct behaviour which should be adopted in the event of a major accident.

(2) The occupier shall take the steps required under sub-rule (1) of this Rule to inform persons about an industrial activity, before that activity is commenced, except that, in the case of an existing industrial activity in which case the occupier shall comply with the requirements of sub-rule (1) of this Rule within three months of coming into operation of these Rules.

[See Rules 2 (a) (ii), 4 (1) (b), 4 (2) (a) and 6 (1) (c) and (d)]

Isolated Storage at Installation other than those covered by Schedule 4.-

(a) The threshold quantities set out below relate to each installation or group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between installations is not sufficient to avoid, in foreseeable circumstances, any aggravation of major accident hazards. These quantities apply in any case to each of the installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is less than 500 metres.

(b) For the purpose of determining the quantity of a hazardous chemical at an isolated storage account shall also be taken of any hazardous chemicals which is-

(i) in that part of any pipeline under the control of the occupier having control of the site, which is within 500 metres of that site ana connected to it;

(ii) at any other site under the control of the occupier any part of the boundary of which is 500 metres of the said site; and

(iii) in any vehicle, vessels, aircraft or hovercraft under the control of the same occupier which is used for storage purpose either at the site or within 500 metres of it, but no account shall be taken of any hazardous chemical which is in a vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft for transporting it.

Foot notes :

(a) This applies to ammonium nitrate and mixtures of ammonium nitrate where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28 per cent by weight and to aqueous solutions of ammonium nitrate where the concentration of ammonium nitrate is greater than 90 per cent by weight.

(b) This applies to straight ammonium nitrate fertilizers and to compound fertilizers where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28 per cent by weight (a compound fertilizer contains ammonium nitrate together with phosphate and/or potash).

Schedule 3

[See Rules 2 (a) (iii), 5 and 6 (1) (a) and (b)]

List of Hazardous Chemicals for application of Rules 5 and 7 to 15

(a) The quantities set out below relate to each installation or group of installation belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is not sufficient to avoid in foreseeable circumstances, any aggravation of major accident hazards. These quantities apply in any case to each group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is less than 500 metres.

(b) For the purpose of determining the quantity of a hazardous chemical in an industrial installation, account shall also be taken of any hazardous chemical which is-

(i) in that part of any pipeline under the control of the occupier having control of the site, which is within 500 metres of that site and connected to it;

(ii) at any other site under the control of the same occupier any part of the boundary of which is within 500 metres of the said site; and

(iii) in any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft under the control of the same occupier which is used for storage purpose either at the site of within 500 metres of it;

but no account shall be taken of any hazardous chemical which is in a vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft used for transporting it.
