Abstract

A well-established Greek consultancy firm has developed an innovative Web-based tool that deploys services that intend to help implement statutory requirements in the monitoring and reporting of environmental and safety compliance, such as European directive 96/82/EC on the control of major accident hazards involving dangerous substances (Seveso II). The company is looking for private investors, financial institutions, and/or public administration authorities for sponsoring the deployment phase.

Details

The product is an innovative Web-based tool that deploys services that intend to help implement statutory requirements in the monitoring and reporting of environmental and safety compliance, such as European directive 96/82/EC on the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances (Seveso II). It is composed of a set of services, emphasising the preventive aspects of industrial safety, in order to improve risk management in industrial activities and the surrounding areas, due to major potential of industrial hazards. Currently, the services are being validated with regard to market potential and requirements, in a project co-financed by the e-TEN programme of the European Commission.
The uniqueness of the product's services is based on providing data in real time from measuring instruments or manual input and facilitating the interchange of information among all the actors of the information chain. The services are based on an award-winning software solution for compliance monitoring and reporting, using the most advanced information and communication technologies applied to preventive actions, by means of remote monitoring in real time through data and images. It comprises a monitoring system, with three monitoring modalities (“remote sensing”, continuous “proactive” and manual), a logistic traceability and a Real Time Alert System. It allows the timely collection, processing and dissemination of data, as a basis for decision-making.
