Schedule 2

[See Rules 2(a)(ii), 4(1)(b), 4(2)(1) and 6(1)(c) and (d)]

Isolated storage of Installation other than those covered by Schedule 4

(a) The quantities is out below relate to each installation or group of installations belonging to the occupier where the distance between installations is not sufficient to avoid in foreseeable circumstances any aggravation of major accident hazards. These quantities apply in any case to each of the installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is less than 500 metres.

(b) For the purpose of determining the quantity of a hazardous chemical at an isolated storage account shall also be taken of any hazardous chemical which is-

(i) in that part of any pipeline under the control of the occupier having control of the site, which is within 500 metres of that site and connected to it;

(ii) at any other site under the control of the occupier any part of the boundary of which is 500 metres of the said site; and

(iii) in any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft under the control of the same occupier which is used for storage purpose, either at the site or within 500 metres of it;

but no account shall be taken of any hazardous chemical which is in a vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft for transporting it.

Foot Notes : (a) This applies to ammonium nitrate and mixtures of ammonium nitrate where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 2 per cent by weight and to aqueous solutions of ammonium nitrate where the concentration of ammonium nitrate is greater than 90 per cent by weight.

(b) This applies to straight ammonium nitrate fertilisers and to compound fertilisers where the nitrogen content derived from the ammonium nitrate is greater than 28 per cent by weight (a compound fertiliser contains ammonium nitrate together with phosphate and/or potash).

Schedule 3

[See Rules 2(a)(iii), 5 and 6(1)(a) and (b)]

List of hazardous chemicals for application of Rules 5 and 7 to 15

(a) The quantities set out below relate to each installation or group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is not sufficient to avoid in foreseeable circumstances, any aggravation of major accident hazards. These quantities apply in any case to each group of installations belonging to the same occupier where the distance between the installations is less than 500 metres.

(b) For the purpose of determining the quantity of hazardous chemical in an industrial installation, account shall also be taken of any hazardous chemical which is-

(i) in that part of any pipeline under the control of the occupier having control of the site, which is within 500 metres of that site and connected to it;

(ii) at any other site under the control of the same occupier any part of the boundary of which is within 500 metres of the said site; and

(iii) in any vehicle, vessel, aircraft or hovercraft under the control of the same occupier which is used for storage purpose either at the site or within 500 metres of it.
