Submit information for the creation of external alarm and hazard defence plans

  • Service description

    As the operator of an upper-tier operating area, you are obliged to provide the competent authority with the information required to draw up external alarm and hazard prevention plans. The aim of transmitting information is to ensure effective hazard prevention by interlinking internal and external alarm and hazard prevention planning. For this reason, cooperation between the operator and the authorities responsible for civil protection and general hazard prevention should already take place during the preparation and each update of the internal alarm and hazard prevention plans.

    It is imperative that operators and authorities work together to define the off-site hazard areas.

    After preparation and each update, the content of the internal alarm and emergency response plans must be communicated to the authorities responsible for civil protection and general emergency response, insofar as it is necessary for these authorities to fulfil their tasks. As part of the cooperation, it should therefore be discussed which documents should be forwarded to the authorities in detail with regard to their distribution of tasks.

  • Who should I contact?

    Contact the municipality or city.

  • What deadlines do I have to observe?

    The deadlines for the transmission of the information required for the preparation of the external emergency plans by the operator are set out in the Major Accidents Ordinance and are at least one month before the commissioning of an operating area or before changes to the installation or activities that bring the operating area within the scope of the said ordinance. Or if an operating area of the lower class becomes an operating area of the upper class.
