Guidance on Land-Use Planning, the Siting of Hazardous Facilities and Related Safety Aspects (Rus Language)

The guidance aims to assist Parties in more effectively mitigating the effects of possible industrial accidents and the consequences on human health, the environment and cultural heritage within countries and across borders.

The general guidance (Part A) does this by sharing examples and pointing to good practices of countries' efforts in the UNECE region to integrate industrial safety considerations into environmental assessment and land-use planning processes.

It also highlights the important interlinkages, synergies and complementarities between these and other instruments, including the UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-Making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (Aarhus Convention), aiming to assist competent authorities and practitioners in applying the provisions.

This is supplemented by the technical guidance (Part B), which focuses on the risk aspects.
