Contents Notes
"The overall objective of this study was to develop a computerized system for documenting and analyzing hazardous material spill data. The present program improves the data collection and processing so that information can be generated in a form that can be used effectively to prevent and control hazardous material spills. The program established an open-ended, dual data base system that can produce reports on request and generate statistics on any or all spill incidents that are encoded in computer storage. Two logically linked data sets were established. The first set consisted of incident-related data, and the second was made up of material-related data. The previously developed computer codes were modified to accommodate the large number of incidents acquired and the dual data base system. New coding techniques also minimized the potential of multiple entries and greatly increased the amount of information that can be stored. These changes have made the data system more nearly universal and provided a more accessible means of retrieving information than was possible using previous retrieval methods."
