The present time is constantly evolving, advancing and bringing new challenges and threats that may have an adverse impact on individuals and organizations. Each organization must adapt its activities to the current situation. It must also take care of its security, which it needs to ensure its existence, successful functioning and continuous improvement of its position within the global environment. Security must therefore be part of the organization’s main strategies. Therefore, appropriate attention should be paid to security and the organization should regularly allocate sufficient resources to ensure its security. The aim of this article is to point out the possibilities of using the CBA method in the framework of security management in the concept of socially responsible business. The CBA method provides scope to develop and incorporate its methodological framework into standard risk management practices within a company by assessing the costs and benefits of the proposed preventive measures related to ensuring the required level of security within the organization.

“…The Seveso III Directive hopes to enhance the capacity of environmental protection of the entire region in a lasting and efficient way [34,35]. It is relatively complete and has been widely accepted in the European Union [10,28,36,37]. The fundamental assumption of the Seveso III Directive to assess the environmental risk is that industrial enterprises have the potential hazard of leaking pollutants.…”

Accidental pollution incidents have caused a major threat to water safety of drinking water sources. However, few studies have focused on quantitative risk assessment of pollution incidents in a watershed which contains drinking water sources. A coupling model consisting of the Seveso III Directive, SWAT, and MIKE21 models was constructed for risk assessment of sudden pollution incidents at the watershed scale. The potential hazard of risk sources (e.g., industrial enterprises), the vulnerability of risk receptors (e.g., drinking water intakes), and the environmental risk of different sub-regions of the watershed were evaluated by this model. In addition, a case study was applied in Hongfeng Lake watershed (HLW), where the Hongfeng Lake drinking water source is located. The results showed that about 68% of the industrial enterprises in the HLW were potentially hazardous according to the Seveso III Directive, including 5 high hazard enterprises, 13 medium hazard enterprises, and 37 low hazard enterprises, most of which were concentrated in the coal mining, chemical production, and building material industries. The HLW was divided into the Yangchang River watershed (YRW), the Maiweng River watershed (MRW1), the Maxian River watershed (MRW2), the Houliu River watershed (HRW), and the lake area by the hydrological characteristics, among which, the vulnerability index of YRW was the largest. Besides, it was essential to consider the vulnerability assessment of drinking water intakes when conducting an environmental risk assessment in the HLW. Regional environmental risk grade of YRW, MRW1, MRW2, HRW, and the lake area was high, medium, low, low, and none, respectively. The environmental risk assessment results showed good consistency with the pollution characteristics and spatial distribution of industrial enterprises in the HLW. Furthermore, the theory of a three-level prevention system for “risk sources–water body connection–water intakes” was proposed for environmental risk management in the HLW. Overall, the case study in the HLW indicated that the coupling model proposed in this study had a good compatibility for environmental risk assessment of sudden water pollution incidents in a watershed.

“…In the framework of the transposition of the directive SEVESO III to the legal environment of the EU states a space for creating a unified approach for the risk assessment opened and it enabled, especially the state administration, to compare the results of individual companies with each other and on the other hand it would simplify the operation during checking the official documentation. [5] However, no principal steps were made in this area and the unified methodology has not been implemented yet. [6] Neither the EU directive nor the law about prevention of the major industrial accidents mention any software necessary for e.g.…”

The major industrial accidents threatening the citizens develop especially in the largest strategic chemical companies in the whole EU. The rise of such an event affects not only the people but also the environment and causes big financial losses and very often deteriorates the company´s reputation. The article reflects the changes in the area of preventing major industrial accidents during last 5 years in dependence how they are perceived by the companies. The basic threshold was the year 2013 when the new directive SEVESO III was adopted in the EU and subsequently the member states had to adapt it in their legal environment. A research was carried among the SEVESO establishments in Slovakia and the results are published in this article. In spite of the alteration of the law it is possible to identify several changes which are to be done also in the next period. The article shows the results from the statistical research, the conclusions from meetings with the SEVESO establishments in Slovakia and consultations with the competent authority – the Ministry of Environment of the Slovak Republic. The results revealed a whole range of problems which were implemented in the law already in 2015. In spite of this fact some problems persist and it is necessary to solve them in the near future. Based on the meeting with experts from other EU countries and on the comparison of the results we can say that similar problems are found also in other member states.
