Minerva Portal of the Major Accident Hazards Bureau

The Minerva portal of the Major Accident Hazards Bureau at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre provides a collection of technical information and tools supporting the Industrial Accident policy (Risk Assessment).



The portal provides two databases and a tool:



The eSPIRS database (since 2001) gives an overview of the number, spatial distribution and type of major hazard sites.



The eMARS (since 2008) database facilitates the exchange of information on accidents and near misses that have occurred in major hazard establishments in Europe and globally, with reference to

•causes, •substances involved, •type of process involved, •type of equipment, and •what the accident teaches in regard to working safely with these substances, processes and equipment in future.



ADAM is a tool designed to assess physical effects of an industrial accident in terms of thermal radiation, overpressure or toxic concentration resulting from an unintended release of a dangerous substance. For such a purpose, suitable models have been used and combined, to simulate the possible evolution of each accident: from the time of release to the final damage. The tool contains a database on physical chemical properties of substances.
