The program - The research focus - The role of the Institute - A partner project

A partner project: "Regions at risk. The local management of industrial risks: the example of the Lyons chemical corridor"

      The purpose of the project is to make headway in knowledge about the management methods for industrial risks at the local level, through the cross-analysis of four essential safety issues:

	Scientific and technical risk assessment and its transposition to legislation project manager: Emmanuel Martinais, engineer and geographer with the ENTPE
	Risk, information and CLIC (local commitee for information and public dialogue) project manager: Laure Bonnaud, associate professor in economic and social sciences, sociologist with the INRA
	The emergence of safety-environment engineering and safety professionalisation project manager: Laure Bonnaud
	Risk, outsourcing, temporary work and subcontracting project manager: François Duchene, architect and geographer with the ENTPE

      Focusing on the industrial region of the chemical corridor to the south of the Lyons conurbation, the initiative seeks to highlight all the links in the chain which enhance collective safety and help make the operation of industrial plants as harmless as possible.

      Other partners in the project include The Urban Community of Greater Lyons, SPIRAL (from the French acronym for the Permanent Secretariat for the Prevention of Industrial Pollution and Risks in the Lyons Conurbation) and the CERTU (from the French acronym for the Study Centre on Transport systems and Town planning).

      The comparative approach, set up as part of the partnership with the Institute, could be extended to the European level, based on the current collaboration with the London School of Economics and Political Science (department of geography).
