Résumé

This Law establishes the legal, economic and social foundations for ensuring safe and reliable operating conditions for hazardous production facilities and is aimed at preventing accidents at hazardous production facilities and ensuring the readiness of economic entities operating at these facilities to localize and eliminate the consequences of industrial accidents and man-made disasters, as well as to protect population and environment. Hazardous production facilities shall be intended: (a) facilities using, manufacturing, processing, storing, destroying (except for household toxic chemicals) hazardous substances, including flammable substances, oxidizing substances, combustible substances, explosives, toxic substances, highly toxic substances, poisonous substances and substances that pose risk to environment; (b) facilities with equipment operating under a pressure of more than 0.07 megapascal or at a water heating temperature of more than 115 degrees Celsius, with the use of hot water steam pipelines; (c) facilities using lifting structures and mechanisms; and (d) facilities using technical and technological installations for well boring. Depending on the consequences of accidents or man-made disasters for the vital interests of the individual and society, hazardous production facilities are classified into four hazard categories in accordance with the criteria set out in Annex 1: (a) hazard category I – hazardous production facilities, very high hazard degree; (b) hazard category II - hazardous production facilities, high hazard degree; (c) III hazard category - hazardous production facilities, medium hazard degree; and (d) hazard category IV - hazardous production facilities, low hazard degree. The assignment of hazard categories to hazardous production facilities is carried out in the process of their registration in the State Register of hazardous production facilities. This Law consists of III Chapters containing 23 Articles. Chapter I lays down general provisions. Chapter II defines activities in the field of industrial safety. Chapter III lays down final and transitional provisions.
