Ensuring the prevention of chemicalaccidents at hazardous facilities is a key component of chemicals management.
This document is based on a 2023 OECD seminar series on the Management of Hazardous Substances at Port Areas. The first seminar covered examples from countries on the functioning of their ports with regard to the management of hazardous substances. The second focused on elements of chemical accidents management at port areas. The results of these discussions are combined here along with the main challenges to managing chemical accidents risks and safety at port areas and possible means for improvement.
