Business Risk at the horizon Belgium Several amendments to the Belgian civil law are planned *. What concerns us in particular is that this amendment provides for a general clause of risk-based liability for specifically hazardous activities. Business impact: In the future, the operator of particularly dangerous activities would be liable for the damage caused by these activities, even when he has taken all the legal and necessary measures to ensure safety. Minister Geens' bill introduces a whole series of forms of no-fault liability. Analyse : Non-contractual liability The legal rules of the extra-contractual liability determines who is responsible to pay for a specific claim (read : the cost of the damages resulting from incident). In most cases, the person/company who caused the damage - and who is therefore 'in error' - is obliged to reimburse it. One speaks of 'fault liability'. However, the bill by Minister Geens introduces a large number of forms of error-free liability. For example, the operator of particularly dangerous activities would in the future be liable for the damage caused by this activity, even if this operator has taken all possible legal and necessary measures to ensure security and safety. * https://justitie.belgium.be/sites/default/files/memorie_van_toelichting_aansprakelijkheidsrecht.pdf
CRISIS MANAGEMENT Sweden hands out brochure in case of 'crisis or war' Sweden is distributing an updated version of a Cold War-era civil emergency advice booklet to some 4.8 million households about what to do in the event of a crisis, including war. The first edition of the If War Comes booklet was published during the Second World War and the information was published in telephone books. Sweden is aware that the brochure may raise questions and concerns. So, it added staff fluent in nine different languages until June 29 for questions by telephone or online. The document will also be available for download in Swedish, English and more than a dozen languages.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT TACTICAL MEDICAL CARE : yes, this is also of importance for you! The following journal report provides details about
“keeping pace with current terrorist methods in terms of your Tactical Medical Care preparedness” This report "emphasizes the need for hemorrhage control” [for handgun wounds] although it overlooks the likelihood of encountering victims with multiple amputations and the complications of blast injury. What is the problem? In the face of multiple, armed attackers using high-powered rifles and multiple explosive devices, the typically issued [protective equipment] is inadequate and the available medical supplies could quickly be exhausted, particularly when treating individuals with blast injuries. In light of the threats now faced by our society, merely supplying one tourniquet, one chest seal, and one dressing may no longer be sufficient. Recommendations : - the development of a portable medical kit for active shooter/suspected terrorist incidents. - this kit should contain multiple tourniquets, triage tape, combination dressing/bandages, and large quantities of gauze for hemostasis/wound packing - explosions activate the sprinkler system, so : medical assets should be prepared for operations in a wet environment. Educate and plan for the electrical shock hazards and biological hazards posed to responders in that environment. Rescue equipment should include waterproof triage tags (colored vinyl/plastic tags rather than paper). - attention in training: include the arrival by some medical personnel without personal protective equipment; traffic blockage of emergency equipment; and the inadvertent establishment of a casualty collection/treatment site in what may be an IED hot zone.
