Safety - our number one priority

Safety is one of Hupac’s major priorities. The company aims at carrying out a safe and reliable transportation system, ensuring maximum safety in all its fields of activity.

 

Safety objectives

Our main safety objectives relate to the prevention of accidents in terminals and on the railway lines, the integrity of load units and smooth operation of the wagon fleet.

 

Compliance with legislation

Hupac conforms to the statutory safety provisions; if necessary, the company voluntarily implements additional measures.

 

Active management

Hupac makes available the instruments, resources and processes needed to guarantee an adequate system for safety management.

 

Focus on prevention

Hupac supports every initiative aimed at preventing safety-relevant disruptions or accidents.

 

Adequate training

Hupac's employees are adequately trained allowing them to perform their functions conscientiously and responsibly.

 

Dangerous goods

Hupac has put in place a centralised service specifically dedicated to this kind of transport, headed by a Dangerous Goods compliance advisor, appointed and trained according to the provisions of Directive 96/35/CE. 

 

Monitoring and improvement

Hupac regularly verifies the safety level in the company to identify any shortcomings and intervening in critical situations. Monitoring and controlling provide the basis for the continuous improvement process.

 

Teamwork

Safety is the result of teamwork involving collaborators, partners, customers and supervisory authorities. Hupac promotes an open, constructive dialog and supports awareness and motivation of all individuals, with the objective of creating an effective safety culture.

Terminal Busto Arsizio-Gallarate
Terminal Busto Arsizio-Gallarate

The Terminal Busto Arsizio-Gallarate combines the strength of a solid structure for the road-rail transhipment with the advantage of a strategic position. It is located in one of the major European economic areas, 20 km from Milan and 150 km from the port of Genoa. Its railway position is optimal thanks to the connections both to the north, via Luino, Domodossola and Chiasso, and to the rest of Italy. It is accessible directly via motorway and allows road vehicles to arrive easily to the trains and to move quickly on to their final destination.

 

The terminal was projected and realized according to the most state-of-the-art planning technologies, in order to combine efficient and quick work with safety and environmental protection. Every day dozens of trains connect the terminal with destinations in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Poland, and perform a relevant hub function within the European intermodal network.
