describes the areas where a major accident may occur.5.A description of the major hazard installation including —

a detailed description of possible major accidents and their probability of occurrence or the conditions under which they may occur;

a summary of the events which may play a role in triggering each of these possible major accidents;

the potential causes (whether internal or external to the major hazard installation) of these possible major accidents including —

potential operational causes;

potential external causes, such as an accident in the neighbouring area or developments that could be the source of, or increase the risk or consequences of a major accident; and

potential natural causes (if any);

an assessment of the extent and severity of the consequences of possible major accidents by way of diagrammatic representation (including, but not limited to, maps or images) setting out the areas which may be affected by such accidents;
