Overview - ISO 22326:2018 (Monitoring facilities with identified hazards)

ISO 22326:2018 is an international guideline within the security and resilience - emergency management series that defines how to establish and operate hazard monitoring at facilities with identified hazards. The standard describes the full monitoring lifecycle - from planning and implementation to operation, control and continual improvement - and supports emergency management, prevention, mitigation and response by delivering timely, reliable monitoring data.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Monitoring process: Defines the end-to-end process steps - receipt, integration, generation, analysis, transfer and output of monitoring data.
• Critical indicators: Identifying quantitative, qualitative or descriptive measures to detect hazard development and early signs of escalation.
• Data characteristics: Guidance to ensure data are accumulated at the facility, have agreed characteristics, are easily analysed, transmitted via secure channels and are integrable to support decisions.
• Data analysis & display: Requirements for prioritised, comprehensible displays (text, graphics, audio, video) so recent and relevant indicators are clearly visible to decision-makers.
• Progressive notification: Systems should support at least three escalation levels (normal, caution, emergency) to trigger pre-planned responses.
• Implementation & interoperability: Emphasis on agreed arrangements between facility owners, authorities and stakeholders; commissioning, testing and ensuring sender/receiver interoperability.
• Operation, training & security: Roles, qualifications, training, authorization and security clearances for personnel operating monitoring systems.
• Review & improvement: Use incident statistics and forecasting models to refine monitoring systems and preparedness.

Practical applications and users

ISO 22326:2018 is generic and applicable to any organization operating facilities with identified hazards. Typical users include:

• Facility owners and operators of plants, buildings, transport units and infrastructure
• Engineers, system integrators and contractors involved in design, installation and maintenance of monitoring systems
• Public authorities and emergency services responsible for prevention and incident response
• Insurers, regulators, legislators and researchers seeking standardized guidance on hazard monitoring and decision support

Practical uses: design of hazard-resistant monitoring systems, defining data sharing and escalation procedures, selecting critical indicators, testing commissioning processes, and integrating monitoring outputs into emergency response plans.

Introduction
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the risks and consequences of natural and
industrial disasters. Monitoring hazards can reduce potential losses through improved prevention,
mitigation, preparedness and a more effective response to incidents resulting from the hazards.
Effective monitoring can provide public and private sector emergency management with ongoing,
timely, accurate, easily understood relevant monitoring data to support decision-making in emergency
management.
Security standards are continually evolving and improving. Advances in monitoring technology will
provide opportunities for further improvement of these guidelines and for development and application
of innovative monitoring solutions.
The purpose of this document is to contribute to an overall emergency management framework which
seeks to reduce the risk to people, operations, property and the environment.
This document provides guidelines for the entire process of hazard monitoring at facilities with
identified hazards, including planning, implementation, operation and control, and review and continual
improvement. This document is applicable to all facilities with identified hazards and may be used by
stakeholders and authorities responsible for safety and security, such as
— owners and operators of facilities,
— engineers, installers and contractors during facility planning, construction, and maintenance,
— public authorities responsible for emergency prevention activities and incident response,
— insurance companies and potentially affected residents,
— legislators, and
— the scientific community and researchers.

4 Monitoring
4.1 General
Monitoring should identify dynamic hazard development at facilities with identified hazards that
can lead to incidents. This should include the provision of timely relevant and reliable data about the
hazards.
NOTE 1 Annex A provides examples of facilities with identified hazards.
The selection of hazards to be monitored should be based on the results of the hazard identification and
risk analysis.
NOTE 2 Annex B provides examples of possible hazards.
Monitoring should provide progressive notification as the incident escalates; at a minimum: normal,
caution and emergency.
Monitoring should reflect administrative and organizational considerations. It should include hardware
and software appropriate to the hazard to support the monitoring process described in 4.2.
NOTE 3 Annex C provides an example for monitoring a facility.
4.2 Monitoring process
The monitoring process involves receipt, integration, generation, analysis, transfer and output of
data. The process involves the facility owner, authorities responsible for safety and security and other
stakeholders intereste
