Chemical Incidents Report Center

The Chemical Incidents Report Center (CIRC) is an incident database initiated by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board. An online search of this database (www.chemsafety.gov/circ), as well as a more general web search, may be a good starting point for a literature survey.

The ultimate goal of the process safety system is to prevent process safety incidents. The Center for Chemical Process Safety s Process Safety Leading and Lagging Metrics Report (CCPS, 2007b) defines a consensus from several chemical and allied processing industries for definitions of process safety incidents and process safety near misses. If an organization adopts these definitions, a... 

The agencies notified in the event of a reportable release operate as an emergency response network to deploy appropriate emergency assistance in the event of a chemical release. The National Response Center (NRC), located at the United States Coast Guard Headquarters, is the national communications center continuously manned for handling activities related to response actions. The NRC acts as the single federal point of contact for all pollution incident reporting.

Smithson and Levy (2000) reported some 139 cases where disaffected political or religiously motivated groups were in some fashion connected to chemical or biological agents between 1975 and August 2000 in the United States. On the other hand, in her comprehensive review of terrorism in the United States, Smithson concluded that to that point, the major terrorist incidents in the United States have not involved chemical warfare or biological warfare agents. As mentioned above, the most noteworthy examples are the Oklahoma City and World Trade Center attacks.
