"I voted in favour of this report. We still remember the terrible disasters that befell certain factories, particularly the one in Toulouse. In view of these accidents, it would be premature to seek to call into question legislation which has been in existence for three years. On the contrary, it would be advisable to improve safety measures.
Our priority is to be able to combine industrial development with increased safety. A Europe without factories would surely be inconceivable, would it not? The zero-risk option does not exist, and to insist that it does would be to tell a lie.
The objective is therefore to be prepared for the unexpected. In order to do this, the idea of information is of supreme importance, particularly information regarding the courses of action to be followed in the event of an explosion. This is absolutely fundamental if in future we are to avoid even more serious damage.
We must not frighten people. Being prepared for the unexpected also means doing everything we can to avoid it. Therefore, the new requirements being sought must be based on a proper evaluation of the risks, in accordance with criteria defined at Community level, the definition of the responsibilities of those involved in the undertaking, both employees and management, including the obligation to provide adequate training, the implementation of security-management systems with on-site testing, and the tightening-up of controls."@en1
