Abstract

The safety reports of 14 Finnish establishments (of a total of about 60) prepared according to EU's directive 96/82/EEC were studied in order to find out, whether the safety management system now required has influenced the way risk assessment methods are applied. The results show no major progress, as the companies assessed their risk assessment procedures already being adequate. Although the documentation has improved, comprehensive management of change and risk assessment procedures still seem to be scarce in the Finnish process industry.
