- Abstract
- Pipelines are an important, and sometimes a vital, means of transport of a variety of hazardous
substances such as crude oil, its derivatives and natural gas. In general, they offer a practical and
economical means to transport large volumes of hazardous substances from their producer to a wide
range of customers over long distances. Moreover, they have reliability and, if compared to other
modes of transport, few associated impacts on the environment. For all these reasons pipeline
networks are growing rapidly. The main disadvantages of pipelines are: high investment costs and a
certain lack of flexibility in regard to delivery points and quantities of transported substance.
The use of well planned, constructed, properly operated and maintained pipelines generally represents
a safe mode of transport both for the environment and human health. However, like fixed installations
handling hazardous substances, in case of accidents, these may be a serious hazard to human health
and safety and to the environment (especially soil and water). External interference is the most
frequent cause of pipeline accidents in the EU (European Union) and UNECE (United Nations
Economic Commission for Europe) region.
Although pipeline regulatory provisions and safety performance in certain ENECE countries has been
developed to high standards, in the rest of the UNECE region there are important gaps relative to
regulations and requirements concerning the safety of pipeline operation to prevent incidents and to
limit their consequences for human health and the environment.
So, against the need both for further improvements and, as many pipelines cross borders between two
or more countries, for harmonization across the UNECE region of the pipeline safety performance,
there are activities at EU and UNECE level on the control of the hazards arising from transport of
dangerous substances through pipeline.
On the base of these activities, the aim of this document is to give some key elements which are
peculiar to pipeline safety management by both operators and competent authorities. A lot of these
elements have been considered in the document \"UNECE safety guidelines/good practices for
pipelines\"[1] that a group is drawing up within the two UNECE Convention on transboundary
industrial accidents and on the transboundary watercourses use and protection. In consideration of the
Italian pipeline network, mainly of the complex gas transmission system, Ministry for environment
and land protection of Italy, appointing experts from the Institute for Atmospheric Pollution of the
National Research Council, has attended to this UNECE activity in which has also involved Italian
pipeline operators. (literal)
