Steps and timeframes
- 01
Check against the criteria
1 dayWe compare the hazardous substances and types of work at the facility with the declaration criteria. If the facility does not fall under them, we will tell you straight away.
- 02
Working group and input data
The organization develops the declaration itself: by order of its head, a working group of at least 3 specialists is set up. We prepare the order and collect the input data.
- 03
Hazard and risk analysis
Accident scenarios, calculation of impact zones and risk assessment. This is the largest part of the declaration.
- 04
Compiling the declaration
We compile the declaration to the prescribed structure: general information, the nature and scale of the hazard, safety measures and appendices. The head of the organization approves it.
- 05
Registration with the Industrial Safety Committee

Frequently asked questions
Does an industrial safety declaration need an expert review?
No. The mandatory expert review of the declaration was abolished in 2021. The declaration is now approved by the head of the organization and registered by the Industrial Safety Committee.
Can a third-party organization develop the declaration?
By law, the declaration is developed by the organization that operates the facility, through its own working group. We work together with that group: we prepare the calculations, the risk analysis and the text of the declaration.
How long is the declaration valid?
No validity period is set. However, after modernization, repurposing and other changes that affect safety, the declaration is amended and registered again no later than 3 months after the changes.
What if hazardous facilities are located close to each other?
If the distance between hazardous production facilities is less than 500 metres, the quantities of the hazardous substance are added together. A facility may become subject to declaration even if each one separately is below the threshold.
