Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems

Register here for the DIERS Users Group Meeting.
Formed in 1976, the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) was a consortium of 29 companies to develop methods for the design of emergency relief systems to handle runaway reactions. DIERS became a users group in 1985. Presently, over 160 companies have formed the DIERS Users Group to cooperatively assimilate, implement, maintain and upgrade the DIERS methodology. The purpose of the group is:
- to reduce the frequency, severity and consequences of pressure producing accidents, and
- to develop new techniques which will improve the design of emergency relief systems.
