The Ministry of the Environment protection has summoned "Oil Industries" executives to a hearing on September 15 before the Haifa District Manager to voice their claims before revoking flammable hazardous materials and before issuing a administrative restraining order. This is in order to avoid a real danger and a significant fear of harming the public from the factory at risk from the warehouses that have been burnt and contain crisp asbestos deposits.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection issued a warning this week to Oil Industries and its managers, warning of engaging in hazardous materials in a manner that causes unreasonable environmental risks. This is due to the huge fire that took place on September 5, 2019 at the Haifa Bay factory warehouses. During this fire hundreds of tons of produce containing edible oil and other flammable materials were burned for hours. The event also burned large areas of warehouse roofs made of cement asbestos slabs.
As a result of the fire, a strong and improbable air pollution was caused by thick black smoke that spread around the area for several hours. Burning cement asbestos panels caused asbestos fiber to be dispersed in the air, leaving crumbs of asbestos in place and causing the "asbestos hazard" as defined by law. Firefighting services operating in increased fire treatment teams announced that the fire had damaged systems and fire extinguishers at the plant.
Depending on the oil toxins permit, flammable hazardous substances are also stored in the plant. Holding flammable substances without proper extinguishing systems in the plant creates a significant risk to the environment and public health, and is in violation of the permit toxins. Compliance with the plant that seeks to deal with toxins from the Group of Hazardous Substances Combustible with the requirements of the Fire Authority is also part of the application form for obtaining a toxin permit submitted to the office.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection informed Oil Industries that in light of the damage to the systems and fire extinguishers in the plant following the fire as well as the fire department's announcement of cancellation of the permit given on its behalf - the plant is no longer in compliance with the toxins permit.
Continuing to deal with flammable hazardous materials in this situation could create a hazard to the environment and public health. Accordingly, the Ministry of the Environment has, as stated, invited the "Oil Industries" managers to a hearing to be held on Sunday to voice their claims before revoking flammable hazardous materials toxins and before issuing an administrative break order.
This administrative procedure is analogous to the investigation procedure conducted by the fire and rescue forces, shared by the Green Police of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
