The reduction of the risk and accident probability on carriage of dangerous goods

Abstract

The article points out the ways of reducing the risk of possible damage and probability of accident. The conditions to ensure safe transportation of dangerous goods, managing and minimising risk on carriage of such goods along the whole route are introduced. This article presents the probabilities in transport of dangerous goods, probability of a possible damage and that of a possible accident, when transporting dangerous goods and a method of calculating costs of damage to environment and that of calculating accident probability. The main possibilities to reduce accident probability and to raise transportation safety are described.
