TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS AND RISK MANAGEMENT 225followed until the end,checked during realization,operationally followed by railway <strong>and</strong>in coordination with other subjects that take care <strong>of</strong> this <strong>transport</strong> (from the hired forwarding company to thespecial state safety subjects).The presented version is an EXAMPLE OF GOOD PRACTISE <strong>of</strong> preferential implementation <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the basictraffic principles, the principle <strong>of</strong> «SAFETY». PE “Serbian Railways” is as a <strong>transport</strong>er huge system with largescope <strong>of</strong> work. Large amount <strong>and</strong> <strong>transport</strong> quantity can not be reasons for superficial performing <strong>of</strong> the single<strong>transport</strong>, <strong>and</strong> especially not for the <strong>dangerous</strong> substances <strong>transport</strong> <strong>of</strong> the class 1. Let’s establish a rule:TRANSPORT QUANTITY HAS TO RESPECT THE TRANSPORT QUALITY.ADVISOR FOR SAFETYIn order to readily accept the formalization <strong>of</strong> the new regulations <strong>and</strong> apply them completely, let’s take a look atthe futuristic review <strong>of</strong> the desired <strong>and</strong> expected. By speeding up <strong>of</strong> the harmonization process <strong>and</strong> by reaching <strong>of</strong>the harmonized regulation (national <strong>and</strong> international), a small step with big flywheel is made (“Perpetuummobile”) in the <strong>dangerous</strong> <strong>goods</strong> <strong>transport</strong>. Which part <strong>of</strong> the assembly will be cell – unit <strong>of</strong> the moving power inthe economy, which will carry the pioneering attempt on the field? We can find the answer in the Chapter 1.8 <strong>of</strong> the“Rulebook (RID)” – Control measures <strong>and</strong> other incentive measures for application <strong>of</strong> the safety regulations, moreprecisely 1.8.3 – Advisor for safety.Every enterprise, which activity involves <strong>dangerous</strong> <strong>goods</strong> <strong>transport</strong> by railway traffic, or with this <strong>transport</strong>connected packing, loading, or unloading, has to name one or more Advisors for safety for <strong>dangerous</strong> <strong>goods</strong><strong>transport</strong>; the task <strong>of</strong> this advisor (s) would be help in <strong>risk</strong> prevention for people, objects <strong>and</strong> environment, thatcome out <strong>of</strong> such activities. The exceptions will be according to exactly determined items by the competentauthority <strong>of</strong> the Member State. The exceptions are possible for the enterprises:which activity refers to the <strong>transport</strong> for the military needs,which activities refer to limited quantities per wagons,which main or secondary activity is not <strong>transport</strong> (loading, unloading) <strong>of</strong> <strong>dangerous</strong> <strong>goods</strong>, but onlyperiodical performance <strong>of</strong> the internal <strong>transport</strong> (loading, unloading) <strong>of</strong> <strong>dangerous</strong> <strong>goods</strong> <strong>and</strong> if there is nogreater danger for environmental pollution.Only the enterprise activity is competent to direct the Advisor for safety to find means <strong>and</strong> methods <strong>and</strong> to takemeasures for application <strong>of</strong> the valid regulations within the optimal safety conditions. Advisor’s obligations arenumerous; they imply teaching, counseling, controls, report preparation, re-examination <strong>of</strong> some activities,establishing <strong>of</strong> new procedures, methods, participation in various commissions, <strong>and</strong> other which directly orindirectly influence safe duration <strong>of</strong> <strong>dangerous</strong> <strong>goods</strong> procedure (<strong>transport</strong>, loading, unloading, packing, transshipment,....).Due to all these obligations the Advisor for safety is local system cell – its enterprise, which willestimate <strong>and</strong> give instructions for increase or decrease safety measures.On the other h<strong>and</strong>, in the global system, Advisor for safety is again cell, that will, after the accident, which hashappened during the observed process (<strong>transport</strong>, loading or unloading), prepare a report about the accident for the<strong>management</strong> <strong>of</strong> the enterprise, <strong>and</strong>, if necessary, for local authorities. Therefore, the role is mutual, <strong>and</strong> its functionis very influential for entire safety system in the State, during all these processes with <strong>dangerous</strong> substances.Suggestion <strong>of</strong> draft <strong>of</strong> new «LAW ON DANGEROUS GOODS TRANSPORT » made great innovation comparedto “ZOPOM”, predicting the chapter IV ADVISOR FOR SAFETY FOR THE DANGEROUS GOODSTRANSPORT IN ROAD, RAILWAY AND WATER TRAFFIC.
