TRANSPORTATION OF DANGEROUS GOODS: A CHALLENGE FOR RISK ANALYSTS AND RISK MANAGERS

摘要

The transportation of dangerous goods in Europe constitutes a serious problem. This paper addresses the complexity of road and train transportation networks and the challenges of multiple jurisdictions while applying the perspectives of goods logistics and industrial risk analysis to the analysis of safety issues. Legislative impacts are discussed, and examples from two provinces in Italy are presented. Recommendations include the development of protocols and agreements for transboundary cooperation and further research in this complex area of study.
