Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Recently, in a world that is rapidly developing and changing in various areas of public life, the issue of identifying, assessing and taking the appropriate measures to minimize or, at best, eliminate emerging risks has become very important. An important aspect of the safe operation of railway transport is the early prevention of failures, especially those whose consequences lead to accidents or even catastrophes. In this sense, the issue of determining the risks of the occurrence of such events becomes relevant. In order to solve this problem, it is advisable to use a risk management system based on the use of a risk-oriented approach in managing the activities of an enterprise in any branch of any form of ownership. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider the normative legal acts and regulatory documents, the requirements of which directly relate to the need to define risks, their identification criteria, and methods of analysis and evaluation. In addition, for risk identification it is important to determine the specific causes of the events according to their belonging to a certain area of occurrence: biological, environmental, explosive, fire, mechanical, electrical, industrial, thermal. At the same time, for the final analysis and determination of measures to minimize or eliminate risks, it is necessary to conduct a quantitative assessment of risks with a sufficient degree of objectivity and effectiveness.The article discusses the need to implement such measures in the field of railway transport in view of the technical regulations applicable to rolling stock and railway transport infrastructure, in particular, risk assessment at all stages of the life cycle of railway transport objects.
