2. Justification of selected compensatory measures

Compensatory measures must be justified. These measures should not be determined solely on the basis of the causes and consequences of possible accidents, but also on the basis of the existence of techniques for improving safety in comparison with the best-equipped similar facilities, whether in France or abroad (best available techniques, BAT, see § ).

Criteria to justify the choice of measures can be, for example :

• identified scenarios: probability, cause and consequence ;

• regulatory compliance of your installations;

• comparison of the means selected with the best available technologies BAT ;

• feedback.
