HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INCIDENT REPORTING SYSTEM HMIRS Data Definitions and Codes Prepared for: U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Office of Hazardous Materials Safety Office of Hazardous Materials Planning and Analysis Washington, DC 20590 Prepared by: Catapult Technology Ltd. 7500 Old Georgetown Road 11th Floor Bethesda, MD 20814 April 2005 HMIRS Data Definitions and Codes 4/14/2005 Page 1 of 56 Introduction The Hazardous Materials Incident Report Subsystem (HMIRS) of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Hazardous Materials Information System was established in 1971 to fulfill the requirements of the Federal hazardous materials transportation law. Part 171 of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) contains the incident reporting requirements of carriers of hazardous materials. An unintentional release of hazardous materials meeting the criteria set forth in Section 171.16, 49 CFR, must be reported on DOT Form 5800.1. The data from the reports received are subsequently entered in the HAZMAT database. Summary statistics from this data are compiled for several DOT publications including the Secretary's Biennial Report on Hazardous Materials Transportation to Congress. Each incident report is reviewed and edited to ensure data integrity. All reports involving fatalities or injuries are analyzed and contact is made with the reporting carrier to ensure the accuracy of the information on the HMIRS. Since 1971 the HMIRS has undergone several modifications. Additional fields and code entries have been added to enhance the usefulness of the data. Significant modifications are noted in the applicable sections of this manual. The HMIRS is maintained in an Oracle 9i database which is housed at the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center. As of the end of 2004 there were approximately 390,000 records in the system. RSPA encourages the use of the HMIRS as part of its mission to promote the safe transportation of hazardous materials. Interested parties may request information from the HMIRS through RSPA. Government agencies may make arrangements to access the system directly. HMIRS data files from 1993 to the present are available on the Office of Hazmat Safety Website which is located at the following address: http://hazmat.dot.gov For incident years 1993 – 2004 each year=s data is available in three dBase files; HAZMAT, HAZCON and HAZRMK. Summary statistics reports for these years are also available on this Website. On January 1st 2005, the Incident Report, 5800.1, form changed, and so did the way the data was stored. From incident year 2005 to the present the data is available in ten dBase files. Summary statistics reports, when an incident year is finalized, will be available on this Website.
