This guide is to help major hazard facility (MHF) operators provide information to the local community and authorities about their MHF. It should include what the community should do if a major incident occurs at the facility.  

This guide helps operators: 

• decide who the information should go to, including identifying the local community and authorities 

• decide what information you need to give to the local community and authorities. 

This is one of 9 guides to help MHF operators understand Chapter 9 – Major hazard facilities in the model WHS Regulations.
