Abstract
Information about the risks involved shall be distributed to the people living in the area nearby to potentially dangerous installation. Swedish law stipulates strict requirements on what information should be supplied, but the law itself does not give any guidance on presentation.

Also, a theoretical analysis and a practical experiment were performed using brochures from two municipalities. The experiment was designed using forms with questions that measured the perception of the risk... (More)
Information about the risks involved shall be distributed to the people living in the area nearby to potentially dangerous installation. Swedish law stipulates strict requirements on what information should be supplied, but the law itself does not give any guidance on presentation. The main purpose of the study is to give recommendations on how to improve the information brochures. Within the study, eight people working with risk information have been interviewed and seven different risk information brochures have been studied. Also, a theoretical analysis and a practical experiment were performed using brochures from two municipalities. The experiment was designed using forms with questions that measured the perception of the risk presented in the two brochures.

Conclusions from the report are that different risk information brochures are perceived in different ways, but the differences are not that big. (Less)
