Chemical Industry

Accidents involving chemicals generally involve a release of hazardous substances. A frequent cause of incidents or malfunctions in a chemical factory is human error (operating errors). The effects on the environment are usually serious, be it due to the effect of volatile substances themselves or due to corrosion. Besides fire damage, which occur relatively often, considerable strains on the environment are not infrequent (air, soil, waters).

Therefore, the legislator imposes many (reporting) obligations on companies in the chemical industry (e.g. the German Hazardous Incident Ordinance). UN numbers which classify hazardous substances within Germany, help to quickly take specific measures in the event of an incident. The United Nations implemented with the GHS (Globally Harmonized System of Classification) a globally harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemicals.
