HIAD
The Hydrogen Incidents and Accidents Database (HIAD)
ABOUT
hiad
HIAD is a repository of hydrogen-related unwanted events that have occurred in the past. The data were obtained from a primary or secondary source (news, inspection reports from public institutions, other public databases, scientific articles, etc.). HIAD maintains a traceable link to the original sources as much as possible.
All HIAD events are first reviewed and validated by JRC experts before entering the database. JRC validation is based on criteria related to the quality and coherence of the event descriptions. Their quality depends on the quality and the level of detail provided by the sources. To guide the users, a quality label has been assigned to each event. The database contains also a lesson learned and causal analysis whenever possible based on the information available.
The collection of HIAD events is a service provided by JRC to hydrogen all safety experts, educators, students and technologists active in the field of hydrogen. It is not intended to serve as instrument for passing judgement on individual companies or countries associated with an accident. A blame culture surrounding the database would greatly reduce the sharing of information. Moreover, it cannot be used to compare hydrogen technologies with other technologies.
