Ministry of Labor Proposes Regulations for Reporting Major Incidents or Accidents in Classified Facilities

The Ministry of Labor has published a draft resolution to regulate procedures for reporting major incidents and accidents in classified facilities, aligning with international industrial safety standards to promote a safer and more responsible work environment.

The draft specifies that the person responsible for the facility must report any major incident or accident within two hours of occurrence, using the Ministry’s designated digital tool.

The resolution also defines criteria for classifying an event as a major incident, including severe injuries, fatalities, property damage, and significant chemical containment losses.

The responsible party must expand the report as the emergency response concludes and calculate annual process safety metrics, reporting them through the same digital tool.
