Safety Planning and Management in EU Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Projects - Guidance Document

The document provides information on safety planning, implementation, and reporting for projects involving hydrogen and/or fuel cell technologies. It does not intend to replace or contradict existing regulations which prevail under all circumstances. Neither is it meant to conflict with relevant international or national standards or to replace existing company safety policies, codes and procedures. Instead, this guidance document aims to assist projects and project partners in identifying hazards and associated risks, in prevention and/or mitigation of them through a proper safety plan, in implementing the safety plan, and reporting safety related events. This shall help in safely delivering the project and ultimately producing inherently safer systems, processes and infrastructure.
