The production and recovery of biogas are at the heart of major environmental issues. As these sectors have undergone significant recent development, little data on the health and safety of operators is currently available or centralised. However, they are industrial sectors in their own right, and therefore present potential risks and hazards. RECORD wanted to produce a summary document to raise awareness of the health and safety of operators potentially exposed to various hazards during monitoring and maintenance operations or in the event of malfunctioning of the installations. This summary document not only provides access to recent international literature on the subject, but also presents "visuals" for each of the biogas production sectors, highlighting the potential risks and hazards. Critical points are identified and analysed in detail.
NB: The proposed analyses can under no circumstances be considered as the result of a professional risk assessment or a hazard study.
