Law (general)
Catalan term or phrase: nivell alt d'afectacio
Examples:

--Realitzar periòdicament (cada any, per als establiments de nivell alt d'afectació o cada quatre anys pels de nivell baix) el dictamen de seguretat...

--...està afectada per la normativa d'accidents greus a nivell alt, ...

I think this is refering to the degree to which this company is subject to these regulations, but a) I'm not sure and b) I'm not sure how to express this in English (I imagine the same concept exists)

Any help would be gratefully received!

high risk


Explanation:
I think this refers to establishments classified as 'high risk' (perhaps because they deal with chemicals, etc.) which thus need to be inspected more often. HTH

large presence of hazardous substances


Explanation:
Both (nivell alt and nivell baix) deal with hazardous substances (see the first reference). Baix/Alt refers to the quantity of hazardous substances present

Nivell Alt -> when there quantity of hazardous substances is above a certain threshold

Nivell Baix -> when there quantity of hazardous substances is below a certain threshold
