Impact of Natural Hazards on Chemical Installations in Switzerland between 1991 and 2008

The Swiss Federal Office for the Environment FOEN represents Switzerland in the “Working Group on Chemical Accidents” (WGCA) of the OECD, which manages the project “Control of Impact of Natural Hazards on Chemical Installations” running between 2009 and 2012 (OECD 2009). In this context, the FOEN provided a first overview of this problem throughout Switzerland, inter alia through preliminary work done by the Department of Geography at the University of Zurich (Leuschner 2008). In particular, establishments with a chemical hazard potential in areas possibly exposed to different types of natural hazards were identified and the past experiences of proprietors and authorities analyzed based on case studies.

In a second step, the FOEN examined the actual impact of natural hazard events on chemical installations which are subject to the Ordinance on Protection against Major Accidents of 1991 (Major Accidents Ordinance, MAO) in collaboration with the Department of Geography at the University of Bern. Thereby, the focus was put on a quantitative evaluation of the experiences gained in this field in Switzerland during the last years. The results of the study are presented in this report.
