Abstract

MIACC is a unique not‐for‐profit organization using a consultative process to reduce the risk posed by potential major accidents involving dangerous substances. Working Groups, consisting of partner members, develop products based on recommendations made in the Bhopal Aftermath Review.1 Consensus reports, approved by the stakeholder, result in National Standards and Guidelines which are intended to be practical and acceptable to industry and government alike.
