Analysis of Chemical Accident Risks

As a centre of reference for risk assessment of industrial accidents,the Joint Research Centre is expert in the development and application of analytical tools for analysis of chemical risks on industrial sites.  The prediction of industrial accident risks and their consequences is a field of great scientific complexity and in serving as a centre of exchange and comparison, the JRC provides Member States the means to evaluate and improve their technical approaches and policy strategies for designating land-use planning, emergency planning and public information zones. The JRC has developed its own GIS-risk analysis platform which also features the JRC's own accident consequence assessment model, ADAM.  Through its collaborations with national authorities, industry and research organizations, the JRC will continue to be a net contributor to new knowledge in the area of industrial risk assessment.
