GES-Contours: Site-Based Risk Contours for Industrial Safety

Risk contour data translated into GES (Health Effect Screening) contours and displayed on maps. The dataset is provided by the Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties via the eu_open_data platform under a CC-PDM-1.0 license. Its aim is to understand bottlenecks in the current situation and the risks present in new developments.

Use Cases

• Identify spatial bottlenecks in current industrial safety based on the described risk contours.
• Assess potential risks for new development projects based on the mapped GES contours.
• Substantiate planning and policy choices with spatial risk insights derived from the contours.

Strengths

• Data is provided by a national ministry (Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties), suggesting an authoritative source.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (JPEG, WFS, WMS) for different analysis and visualization needs.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
