Chemical Emergency and Transport Incidences
In case of an accident with a foreign vehicle the Chemical Information Centre (Alarm Centre operated by the Industrial Fire Brigade of the Basel area) is responsible for the contact with other European Alarm Centres according to an agreement with CEFIC (European Chemical Industry Council).
scienceindustries maintains a list of telephone numbers and contact persons of member companies for the attention of the alarm centre for chemical incidents and transport accidents. Changes are to be reported by e-mail to regula.suter@scienceindustries.ch.
National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC)
The National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) located in Zurich, Switzerland, is the federal centre of expertise for exceptional events. Foremost among these is the risk arising from increased radioactivity, whether this occurs as the result of an accident in a nuclear power plant, a laboratory, or during transportation. Further areas of responsibility include large-scale chemical accidents, dam ruptures and the threat of satellite re-entry.
