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.

Intermodal network at society's service

Restrictions on production and commercial activities are being introduced throughout Europe, with ever greater speed and degree of restriction.

In Italy, the Government's decision of 22 March has further restricted economic activity, now limited to essential goods and services. Land transport and its supply chain are excluded from these restrictions. Therefore, our terminals in Italy and our intermodal rail network remain in operation without restrictions.

In all countries we can count on the support of rail infrastructure managers and railway undertakings. They do their best to keep trains running. Certain restrictions in certain countries, such as the closure of lines at certain times, cannot be excluded, but will be communicated in a good time.

Our terminals must operate safely and efficiently. We therefore ask our customers to collect their loading units in a promptly, and to distribute the flow to the terminals throughout the day thus reducing waiting times and the presence of people in the terminals.

Thanks to our employees in the terminals and in the home office we guarantee the availability of the goods we all need, from basic goods to raw materials for the production of essential products, from consumer healthcare products to supplies for hospitals.
