Every day, products identified as dangerous goods are transported across the EU by road, rail, water and air. Currently, large quantities of different types of dangerous goods are transported by rail. The influence of random factors and events can lead to an accident resulting in a leakage of hazardous substances. These types of incidents not only threaten the safety of rail transport, but also life, environment and property. The paper defines legal framework of DGT (dangerous good transport), risks during the carriage of hazardous materials and the main advantages of the rail transport of dangerous goods, compared with other transport modes.
