18 Note! The Seveso Directives are environmental Directives with the scope of major accident prevention to protect man/human health & environment. A risk assessment under Seveso will certainly have other input parameter as one under OHS (here the scope is to prevent work accidents!) A major accident is not necessarily a work accident and vice versa! 12/4/2013 EUCOHS project hja 18
