Operators with neighbouring activities and facilities within a geographically delimited area that also handle hazardous substances, shall actively contribute to exchange information so as to ensure that those affected have a full overview at all times of the amounts of hazardous substances being handled. Operators shall actively contribute to coordinate measures so that safety, including emergency preparedness, is ensured in a prudent manner.
In the event of hazard and accident situations as mentioned in the first subsection, the Ministry of Labour and Social Inclusion can stipulate that others within its area of authority or private entities shall make the necessary emergency preparedness resources available at the expense of the licensee or owner of the onshore facility, and the Ministry can also, at the expense of the licensee or owner of the onshore facility, implement measures to acquire the necessary additional resources in some other manner.
