Article 7 requires the operator to draw up a written document setting out its Major-Accident Prevention Policy (MAPP). The MAPP must be designed to ensure a high level of protection of human health + the environment, must be proportionate to the major-accident hazards, and must include the operator's overall aims + principles of action. The MAPP is mandatory for both lower-tier + upper-tier establishments. The MAPP is operationalised through a Safety Management System (SMS) which must address the elements listed in Annex III: organisation + personnel + identification + evaluation of major hazards + operational control + management of change + planning for emergencies + monitoring of performance + audit + review. For upper-tier establishments, the SMS forms part of the Article 8 safety report. For lower-tier establishments, the SMS exists as a standalone document that the competent authority can inspect. Article 7(2) the MAPP must be reviewed at least every 5 years AND updated where necessary in light of major changes or new technical knowledge.
