Guide for major hazard facilities - Providing information to the community

This guide is to help major hazard facility (MHF) operators provide information to the local community and authorities about their MHF. It should include what the community should do if a major incident occurs at the facility.  

This guide helps operators: 

• decide who the information should go to, including identifying the local community and authorities 

• decide what information you need to give to the local community and authorities. 

This is one of 9 guides to help MHF operators understand Chapter 9 – Major hazard facilities in the model WHS Regulations.
