HSE & Sustainability
Safety, environmental protection and regulatory compliance are designed into every part of our facility.
Safety Management Systems
Our facility is designed around a structured HSE management system covering risk assessment, permit-to-work procedures, incident reporting and continuous safety training for all personnel and contractors.
ATEX Compliance
Hazardous area classification and equipment selection follow the ATEX framework — Directive 2014/34/EU for equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres, and Directive 1999/92/EC for workplace protection.
Seveso III Framework
As a facility handling hazardous substances, Alpine's design takes into account the Seveso III Directive (2012/18/EU) on the control of major-accident hazards. The facility's specific tier classification will be confirmed once stored substance quantities are finalised and assessed against the Directive's Annex I thresholds.
Environmental Protection
Secondary containment (bunding) around all tanks, vapour recovery systems, groundwater monitoring and a documented spill response plan are core elements of the facility design.
Emergency Response & Fire Protection
On-site fire protection systems, emergency response procedures and coordination with local emergency services are integral to our operations planning.
Dangerous Goods Transport
Road and rail dispatch of hazardous products is conducted in line with ADR (road) and RID (rail) dangerous goods regulations.
Sustainability Commitments
We monitor emissions, invest in leak-detection and vapour-recovery technology, and are designing our infrastructure to be ready for biofuel and renewable-fuel storage as the market develops.
Incident Reporting
Contractors, visitors and members of the public can report safety or environmental concerns through our Contact page.
