"Going beyond the proposals made by the Commission, the Lisi report undertakes a much more stringent revision of the Seveso II Directive.
Some advances merit special emphasis: the introduction of lower threshold values for explosive substances, the inclusion of new carcinogens or of particular mining operations and the inclusion of the storage of certain substances in the catalogue of potential hazards.
The report stresses the need to involve the staff of establishments and to enlist their practical and occupational experience and training in the effort to improve safety.
The desire for transparency and public information and for the involvement of local populations in all safety plans is another very strong point of the report.
However, in the preparation of safety plans, there is still a lack of real consideration of the establishments’ own health and safety committees.
Where work is subcontracted, the report recommends that subcontractors’ staff should be involved and trained, but it does not question the rationale of subcontracting. The fact is, however, that the desire of directors to maximise their companies’ profitability, a desire that is reflected in their heavy reliance on subcontractors, runs counter to the quest for the highest possible level of safety.
Nor does the report place enough emphasis on the responsibilities devolving on the boards of the establishments in question.
Despite these reservations, I shall be voting in favour of this report for the reasons outlined above."@en1
