Created in 1990, INERIS is a public research body of an industrial and commercial character, under the supervision of the French Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, with a staff of 650 persons of whom 75% are professional engineers and scientists. INERIS’s mission is to assess and prevent accidental and chronic risks to people and the environ¬ment originating from industrial activities, chemical substances and under¬ground works. INERIS engages in two main sorts of research and studies:
- Characterization and understanding of the phenomena that underlie the risks affecting the safety or property, people, health and the environment as a result of economic activities.
- Improvement of the identification and evaluation of such risks in order to enable decision-makers in the public and private sectors to adopt the most appropriate measures to improve environmental safety.
Using the findings of this research works, INERIS offers advice and high-level technical expertise to public administrations, industry and regional authorities and develops an active policy for disseminating information to a wide public. Technical consultation is also provided to support Public Authorities in their regulatory and standardization activity.
