Abstract
Following the accident in Seveso, Italy (see chapter 1) consultations were started at EC level to arrive at European guidelines for reducing chances of the occurrence of hazards, and directing the way government and the public should be informed. This chapter reviews the situation in the Netherlands with respect to Article 8 of the Directive. The information contained in this chapter has been accumulated through interviews with local and provincial authorities and representatives of industry.1 About one hundred sites will fall under the directive, of which about one-third are situated in the Rijnmond area. This figure gives some idea about the potential impact of the Seveso directive in the Netherlands.
