Assessment of the Implementation Practice of Emergency Planning Regulations Dedicated to the Rail Transportation of Dangerous Goods
Absztrakt :
These days it is especially important, and a complex task at the same time, to protect
human health and the environment at a high level. One of the most important elements
of this protection policy is industrial safety, highlighted by the major accidents of recent
years. Industrial safety embraces four special fields: the supervision of dangerous plants,
the control of the transportation of dangerous goods, the protection of critical infrastructure and the prevention of nuclear accidents. In our essay we dedicate our attention
firstly to the assessment of the international and national legal regulations concerning
the emergency planning of the railway’s dangerous activities. Secondly, the main goal of
this article is to analyse the implementation of the above mentioned regulations by the
operators of Hungarian railway infrastructure.
