Coordination for multiple facilities
562 Coordination for multiple facilities
The regulator may require the operators of 2 or more major hazard facilities to coordinate the preparation of the safety cases for their major hazard facilities if the regulator is satisfied on reasonable grounds that such coordination is necessary in the interests of the safe operation and effective safety management of any or all of those major hazard facilities.
If the regulator requires the coordinated preparation of safety cases, each operator must provide the other operators with information concerning any circumstances at the operator’s facility that could constitute a major incident hazard in relation to any of the other major hazard facilities.
Maximum penalty: tier G monetary penalty.
Note Strict liability applies to each physical element of each offence under this regulation, unless otherwise stated (see s 6A).
In complying with this section, the operator is not required to disclose information that may expose the major hazard facility to a major incident hazard in relation to the security of the major hazard facility.
