Comparability of Technological Risk assessment methodologies

Ziel

Specific Objectives:
The Action has 4 specific objectives: Comparative analysis: To carry out of a comparative analysis of existing Risk Analysis approaches, for technological accidental risks, over Member States, Candidate Countries and other relevant countries worldwide. Characterization and Qualification: To characterize and qualify the Risk Figure and the relevant Risk Analysis methodology for the same type of event, related to the process industry covered by the Seveso Directive. Network and Benchmark Exercise: Within the context of the European Research Area, to create an effective network of interested national and international bodies/Institutions, supported by a cooperative web site, to define an agreed definition of a benchmark exercise that will validate the template proposals for risk figures Platform Definition: To define the terms of reference of a future non-prescriptive platform for risk integration and communication aimed at policy makers, experts and the general public. Anticipated milestones and schedule Set-up of the collaborative network web site: May 2003. Comparison analysis final paper: July 2003. Workshop on characterization and qualification of Risk Figure: October 2003. Definition of the benchmark exercise: December 2003. Specification document of the "risk platform": December 2003.
Planned Deliverables Comparative analysis: A final report of this analysis, including a position statement by the JRC on the matter. Characterization and Qualification: A workshop, and associated results, where the initial template proposals for the characterization and the qualification of the Risk Figures will be presented and discussed by all relevant interested bodies. Network and Benchmark Exercise: A network and its related cooperative web site and the definition of the benchmark exercise. Platform Definition: Specification document of the "risk platform".
Summary of the Action:
This action addresses three main areas of risk assessment. Firstly it will seek to characterise (identification of features) the risk figure and the whole process of risk analysis (methodology, procedure, data sets etd). It will then qualify (evaluation of the quality and confidence level) the risk figure and of the whole process of risk analysis, including hazard identification.

Finally it will develop a methodology for the assessment of the integrated risk (for individuals, society of region) and for risk informed/risk based strategic decision-making for effective risk management, risk reduction and priority setting. The work will be undertaken in support of DG Environment in order to provide a technical input into the definition of a Europe wide harmonised approach. During 2003 the planned activity will focus on: - technological accidental risks - comparison of risk figures and risk analysis methods from different evaluators on the same type of "event" Rationale Technological risks are dealt with differently in different fields and in different countries. Differences affect the risk analysis process (definition of risk, risk analysis procedure, hazard identification, evaluation of the probability of occurrence, estimation of the consequences, etc) and the quality and confidence level of the analysis. Decision makers, and particularly DG Environment, are confronted with two types of problem: a variety of approaches to assess and manage a specific risk, a fact that makes the comparison of risk studies performed by different analysts or for different end-users a difficult task and has significantly hampered the widespread use of risk assessment for decision making purposes; an even larger variety of approaches to risk assessment in different fields, which makes actually impossible to have a qualified view of the "integrated risk" (meaning: combination of the risks from different sources) that individuals and society have to face. Substantial experience is available in this domain, and there are initiatives at national and international level.

However there is at present no recognised procedure or agreed platform to obtain a consolidated picture of the overall risk level to which an area of land is subject iv and consequently of its vulnerability - that combines the dimensions of technological risk, natural disasters and other long-term environmental effects. The two basic prerequisites necessary to make this action credible and acceptable to national authorities, industries and international bodies in a very sensitive field are independence and scientific excellence. In this action, the JRC will in particular exploit the expertise and information on risk analysis available in-house, not only with MAHB, NEDIES and ECCAIRS but also with activities such as nuclear safety, chemical substances, environment, etc. The recent agreement with OECD and UN/ECE for the extension to the relevant countries of the Major Accident Reporting System show that the key role of the JRC in this field is internationally recognized. This Action will support DG Environment, DG Energy and Transport and DG Health and Consumer Protection, by contributing to the development of an internationally accepted non-prescriptive platform that allows both policy makers, experts and the general public to understand the relevance of a specific technological risk and the quality of its assessment and to compare and integrate risk figures form different sources. The action will also contribute to the Enlargement Programme, by developing a discussion and comparison platform in the crucial and difficult area of risk: methods and quality of studies in Candidate Countries are scattered and at present not comparable.
