This IFC Good Practice Note on Environmental, Health, and Safety Approaches for Hydropower Projects is a technical reference document with industry-specific examples of Good International Industry Practice (GIIP).1
This publication applies to environmental, health and safety (EHS) aspects of run-of-river diversion, run-of-river reservoir, storage res ervoir, and pumped storage types of facilities (as defined in Annex A). If a hydropower project requires development of reservoirs, use of such reservoirs for purposes other than hydropower production are not covered in this document. Because of the EHS complexity of some hydropower projects, users of this publication may also consult the General EHS Guidelines,2 which provides guidance on common EHS issues potentially applicable to all industry sectors, as well as sector-specific EHS Guidelines including those for Electric Power Transmission and Distribution, Construction Materials Extraction, and Toll Roads.
