Accidental
Release Information Program (ARIP)
ARIP involves collecting
questionnaire information from facilities that have had significant
releases of hazardous substances, developing a national accidental release
database, analyzing the collected information, and disseminating the
results of the analysis to those involved in chemical accident prevention
activities. ARIP also helps to focus industry's attention on the causes of
accidental releases and the means to prevent them. The database is
publicly available and covers incidents from 1986-1999. (.ZIP,
