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.

Calculate your CO2 savings – with just a few clicks

From now on, road hauliers will be able to calculate the CO2 savings they achieve by using Hupac's intermodal trains. With just a few clicks, the exact amount of CO2 avoided for the environment and the comparison with the emissions of all-road transport can be determined on the basis of the selected period and connections. Another couple of clicks and a personalized, immediately printable certificate documents the customer's eco-friendly choice.

 

The calculation of CO2 emissions is carried out by the EcoTransIT system, which allows to quantify the environmental impact of the various vectors on the basis of objective criteria. This is possible thanks to an intelligent input methodology, large amounts of geographical data and an elaborate basis of computation. The system performs an immediate comparison with road transportation and produces a certificate that can be directly downloaded and printed in PDF.

 

The service is accessible via WOLF, Hupac's new integrated platform that brings together all information and tools our customers need to manage their transports quickly and easily.
