Abstract These guidelines were prepared within the framework of an ILO/FRG technical cooperation project in Indonesia in April 1990.

Contents: preliminary meeting with the management to collect information on the processes, substances, process parameters and installations within the plant; selection of sample areas for inspection; plant integrity (design standards, plant operation and control, safety systems, preventive maintenance, plant inspections and tests); process deviations; emergency procedures; visit to the site; recording and reporting of inspection. Annexes provide specific guidance for various processes and equipment.
