Under the Seveso II Directive, what concept was introduced with an emphasis on safety?

  1. Maximum achievable control technology (MACT)

  2. Inherent safety

  3. Best available techniques (BAT)

  4. Process safety management (PSM)

The correct answer is: Inherent safety

The concept introduced with an emphasis on safety under the Seveso II Directive is inherent safety. The other options, while related to safety, are not specifically emphasized by the directive. Maximum achievable control technology (MACT) is a US-based concept related to air pollution control. Best available techniques (BAT) is a concept related to environmental protection. Process safety management (PSM) is a concept related to preventing and mitigating incidents in industrial facilities, but it is not directly mentioned in the Seveso II Directive. Therefore, the best answer is B Inherent safety.
