The Seveso Directive is administered by the European Union through the Major Accident Hazards Bureau services (MAHB) located within the Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, Italy. The Bureau also oversees the European Community s Documentation Centre Industrial Risk (CDCIR) and manages the Major Accident Reporting System (MARS) with the aim to create a repository of information and facilitate the exchange between the members of the European Community. MARS follows the requirements of the Seveso II directive and collects information about major chemical incidents as well as the response and results. Member States are required to report the events by using standardized forms. [Pg.40]

In the year 1984, the Directive to the European Commission established an industrial accident notification scheme, the MARS, operated and maintained by the Major Accident Hazards Bureau of the Commission s Joint Research Center in Ispra, Italy. The objective is to use this information as a basis from which to draw lessons learned for preventing major accidents and mitigating then-consequences. [Pg.517]

With respect to guidehnes and standards that include provisions applicable to the prevention of accidents resulting in severe injuries or fatalities, it is my view that the Europeans are the world s leaders. Very little safety literature applies specifically to preventing serious injuries. But, at http //mahbsrv.jrc.it/NewProducts-SafetyManagementSystems.html, you will find Guidelines on a Major Accident Prevention Policy and Safety Management System as Required by Council Directive 96/82/EC (Seveso II). This document was issued by the European Commission—Joint Research Centre, Institute for Systems Information and Safety, Major Accident Hazards Bureau in Luxemburg. [Pg.157]

During the debate within the EU it was decided that the Seveso directive would be an Environmental (DG XI) directive which would deal with the hazards for man and environment. Furthermore it was decided to establish a committee of technical experts from all member states chaired by the Commission. In this committee (Committee of Competent Authorities, CCA) proposals for the directive were discussed, and in a later phase, so were the implementation issues and monitoring of the state of play within the member states. Gradually this CCA has evolved to become an important forum where, besides the commission and EU member states, participants include the accession and pre-accession countries, the OECD, the Major Accident Hazards Bureau and the EU directorate responsible for research. The Major Accident Hazards Bureau (MAHB) is part of the EU Joint Research Centre and plays an important role with respect to providing scientific support. [Pg.46]
