"Ce document d'orientation sur les indicateurs de performance en matière de sécurité propose une approche systémique pour évaluer le succès des programmes mis en place par les différents intervenants en matière de sécurité chimique. Il laisse par ailleurs aux groupes concernés une certaine latitude pour concevoir des programmes permettant d'évaluer leurs propres performances dans le contexte de la prévention, de la préparation et de l'intervention en matière d'accident chimique. Les indicateurs de performance en matière de sécurité (IPS) aident l'industrie, les autorités et les collectivités à déterminer dans quelle mesure leurs actions contribuent à améliorer la sécurité chimique."

"The Guidance on Safety Performance Indicators was designed to serve as a tool to assist industrial enterprises, public authorities, and communities near hazardous installations world-wide develop and implement a means to assess the success of their chemical safety activities. This Guidance is NOT prescriptive; rather, it provides suggestions related to the elements that might be included in a voluntary Safety Performance Indicator (SPI) Programme and provides general guidance on the process of establishing and implementing such a Programme."

"Cette édition vise à aider les pouvoirs publics, l'industrie et les collectivités dans le monde entier à anticiper les accidents résultant de catastrophes technologiques et naturelles ou de sabotages et impliquant des substances dangereuses. Elle aborde les thèmes suivants: prévention des accidents et quasi-accidents chimiques; préparation aux accidents par l'élaboration de plans d'urgence, d'une communication avec le public, etc.; mesures à prendre pour faire face aux accidents et réduire autant que possible leurs effets néfastes; et suivi des accidents du point de vue du nettoyage, de la notification et de l'enquête."

"These Guiding Principles have been prepared as part of the OECD Chemical Accidents Programme and have been produced within the framework of the Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals (IOMC). The aim is to set out general guidance for the safe planning and operation of facilities where there are hazardous substances in order to prevent accidents and, recognising that accidents involving hazardous substances may nonetheless occur, to mitigate adverse effects through effective emergency preparedness, land-use planning, and accident response. The Guiding Principles address all stakeholders, defined for purposes of this publication as any individual, group or organisation that is involved, interested in, or potentially affected by chemical accident prevention, preparedness and response. Thus, the term stakeholder encompasses everyone with roles, responsibilities and rights related to chemical safety, including industry/management of hazardous installations, employees of such installations, public authorities at all levels, members of the community/public, and other interested parties. ..."

"This publication has been prepared as a joint effort of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) in order to improve assistance activities related to chemical accident prevention, preparedness and response. Specifically, it contains the Conclusions and Recommendations of a joint OECD-UN/ECE workshop at which a wide range of experts considered how to enhance the effectiveness of assistance programmes and help ensure that such programmes address priority needs of recipient countries. The Workshop also considered how the experiences gained from assistance activities could be shared among interested parties. The second part of this publication is a document which summarizes the relevant assistance activities of international organisations and individual countries, to the extent that such information was available. The Workshop concluded that such a document could help improve understanding of the available activities, facilitate sharing of experience, and promote increased co-ordination and cooperation. "

"This text has been prepared with the recognition that hazardous substances are present in communities around the world, mainly in industrial facilities and in transit via highways, rail and waterways. Accidents, including fires, explosions and leakages resulting in the release of these substances, can have adverse effects on human health, property and the environment. Human exposure to hazardous substances can cause injury or even death to a large number of people. Human exposure may occur directly through eye exposure, skin contact, inhalation or ingestion, or as a result of contamination of water or soil, which can affect the food chain. ..."
