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.

Lockdown in Italy: Our intermodal system works without limitations

As of today, Italy is subdivided in three zones with different grades of lockdown rules. However, industrial production as well as freight transport is permitted on the whole national territory. Staff just needs a self-declaration that indicates the reason for traveling or staying outdoor - all details here.

 

Similar restrictions are in place in many European countries such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain.

Intermodal transport has already proven resilience and ability to perform during the COVID-19 first wave.

Today,  we are happy to inform you that:

  • our trains run regularly
  • our terminals work regularly and observe strict hygienic anti-contagion measures
  • our office staff works safely at home or in a protected office environment.
