"People and establishments liable to be affected by a major accident at an establishment must be given specified information about the<br />
establishment, the major accident hazards and the safety measures that are in place. The competent authority determines the area around the<br />
establishment to which this duty applies but it is the operator who has to provide the information.<br />
The area which the competent authority determines is known as the public information zone (PIZ), it determines the PIZ by taking into account<br />
of both the likelihood and effects of possible major accidents at the establishment. It is set on the basis that people outside it are not at<br />
immediate significant risk from major accidents, although they could be if the accident escalates"
