Abstract(s)
Ao longo dos tempos, a industrialização tem provocado, um pouco por todo o mundo, acidentes industriais de grandes dimensões que trazem graves consequências para a saúde humana e para o meio ambiente, como os que aconteceram nos acidentes de Seveso, Bhopal, Schweizerhalle, Enschede, Toulouse e Buncefield. A causa destes acidentes está muitas vezes associada ao manuseamento e armazenamento de substâncias perigosas.
Após estes acontecimentos a Comunidade Europeia, decidiu adotar uma política comum no que se refere à prevenção e controlo dos riscos de acidentes industriais graves. Assim em 1982 foi publicada a Diretiva 82/501/CEE, de 24 de junho (Seveso), que impõe aos Estados-Membros da União Europeia a identificação das zonas industriais que apresentem riscos de acidentes graves.
O Governo português, como forma de transpor a Diretiva Europeia, promulgou o Decreto-Lei nº 150/2015, de 5 de agosto, no qual estabelece o regime de prevenção de acidentes graves que envolva substâncias perigosas e de limitação das suas consequências para a saúde humana e para o ambiente. No âmbito da questão de investigação “Serão os procedimentos e medidas de segurança implementados na Unidade Autónoma de Gás Natural eficazes na prevenção de acidentes graves?” procura-se ao longo do relatório, fazer um enquadramento entre a Diretiva Seveso III, o Decreto-Lei n.º 150/2015, de 5 de agosto e a sua aplicabilidade num caso prático “Unidade Autónoma de Gás Natural dos Socorridos”, por forma a aferir, se as medidas adotadas, são eficazes na prevenção de acidentes graves.
Para isso foi fundamental a realização do estágio na empresa Gáslink Gás Natural, uma vez que este, contribuiu de uma forma muito significativa, para o desenvolvimento de um estudo mais aprofundado da gestão e aplicação das diretivas, normas e procedimentos de segurança a que esta Unidade esta sujeita, nomeadamente a sua aplicabilidade e eficácia na redução do risco de acidentes graves.
Throughout the years, industrialization has caused, all over the world, large industrial accidents that have serious consequences for human health and the environment, such as those that happened in the accidents of Seveso, Bhopal, Schweizerhalle, Enschede, Toulouse and Buncefield. The cause of these accidents is often associated with the handling and storage of dangerous substances. After these events, the European Community decided to adopt a common policy with regard to the prevention and control of the risks of serious industrial accidents. Thus, in 1982, Directive 82/501 / EEC, of 24 June - (Seveso) was published, which requires the Member States of the European Union to identify industrial areas that present risks of serious accidents. The Portuguese Government, as a means of transposing the European Directive, promulgated Decree-Law no. 150/2015, of 5 August, which establishes the regime for the prevention of serious accidents involving dangerous substances and limiting their consequences for human health and for the environment. As part of the research question “Are the safety procedures and measures implemented in the LNG Satellite Plant effective in preventing major accidents?” the report seeks to establish a framework between the Seveso III Directive, Decree-Law no. 150/2015, of 5 August and its applicability in a practical case “Unidade Autónoma de Gás Natural dos Socorridos”, in order to assess, if the measures adopted are effective in preventing major accidents. For that, it was essential to carry out an internship at the company Gáslink Gás Natural, since it contributes in a very significant way, so that the intern could develop a more in-depth study of the management and application of the safety directives, rules and procedures to this Satellite Plant is subject, namely its applicability and effectiveness in reducing the risk of serious accidents.
