This Order, which is applicable to Brunei Darussalam's territory, states that everyone has a responsibility to: (a) take, to the extent that it is reasonably practicable, such measures to ensure the protection and management of the environment, and to prevent, reduce, or control any potential hazards that could lead to pollution or damage to the environment; and (b) comply with this Order's requirements.
