Fire, Explosion, Dispersion
INERIS is an expert on the identification, evaluation of the risks of fire, explosion, dispersion of pollutants in the environment. INERIS identifies, characterizes hazards through analyzes and tests, can model phenomena and interpret all these data to enable industrialists to control accidental risks, limit damage and their impacts

Static electricity
The manipulation of flammable powders, liquids or gases is susceptible of generating electrostatic charges, which can, when they discharge, be the origin of a spark.
