This postcard provides a brief summary of the UNECE Safety Guidelines and Good Practices for Tailings Management Facilities which have been developed by the Joint Expert Group on Water and Industrial Accidents in cooperation with experts on tailings safety and UNECE.
The Guidelines provide a set of principles, technical recommendations and good practices that can assist governments and industry in managing risks and ensuring an adequate level of safety at tailings management facilities (TMFs).
The postcard is available in English, French and Russian. Read the full publication here.
The series of Safety Guidelines and Good Practices produced by the Joint Expert Group on a range of topics (firefighting water retention and management, oil terminals, pipelines), as well as other guidance documents (such as a Checklist for contingency planning for accidents affecting transboundary waters), are used by countries and organizations to improve their policy-making, safety standards and transboundary cooperation to better prevent and respond to accidental transboundary water pollution.
For more information on the Joint Expert Group on Water and Industrial Accidents and its activities, please refer to its webpage and brochure.
