Seveso Plants Information Retrieval System

Developed by the Major Accident Hazards Bureau of the Joint Research Centre, the 'Seveso plants information retrieval system' (SPIRS) allows easy visualisation of important hazard and risk related information from such plants and estimation of their hazard and risk potential. The main objective of SPIRS is to support the Member States in their risk management related decision making processes by giving an insight into the geographical component of risk from Seveso plants. This is done by providing a map of all Seveso plants in the EU as well as a flexible tool to rank the hazard/risk potential of such plants.
