JRC Publications Repository - Learning lessons from accidents

It is undisputed that learning from accidents is an essential and important part of major accident control. It is in particular an essential component in preventing future accidents, as new, hidden or underestimated potential causes are revealed, not only for those with first-hand experience. Provided that lessons learned are disseminated properly, all concerned should in theory be able to avoid similar accidents. Representatives from European Seveso inspectorates gathered in Gothenburg, Sweden, for three days in September 2013 to gain knowledge about learning from incidents, to exchange experience from inspecting the learning cycle at Seveso sites, and to learn more about finding, analysing and disseminating lessons learned. This publication presents the highlights of the exchanges during this workshop with the expectation that they will provide knowledge to improve emergency planning practices to competent authorities in all Seveso countries as well as the broader stakeholder community.
