PS5 – Safety risks in transport
Nowadays, in connection with transport and human health, mainly traffic accidents are being discussed. However, efforts to establish a significant impact on transport from the perspective of the broader context, particularly in relation to health and environmental risks due to prolonged exposure are increasingly coming to the forefront. In the transport sector, it is therefore necessary to identify and evaluate sources of risk, qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the degree of their probability of occurrence, to find, implement and evaluate means of prevention and protection, design and implement the means to eliminate the consequences of such possible events.
Objectives and priorities of the research
- Security of transport infrastructure
(Impacts of traffic accidents, natural disasters, terrorism, new technologies, reducing vulnerability) - Safety of transport of materials and dangerous goods
(ADR, RID, pipelines, measures to reduce releases of pollutants, incl. equipment, of vehicles) - Quality of working environment – Health and Safety at Work
(‚In door’: drivers, passengers)
