Our employees use appropriate protective clothing, safety shoes and other personal protective equipment, and we monitor their use. We involve our employees in the development of equipment.

We have also invested in the safety of the use of the equipment. For example, railway logistics freight wagons are safer with new handrails and steps.

At railway yards, we pay attention to safe working conditions in cooperation with the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency and private infrastructure managers and maintenance operators.

Obligation to appoint a safety adviser

Undertakings transporting or loading dangerous goods or whose activities otherwise affect the transport safety of such goods by road and/or rail must appoint a person specially trained for this purpose as the company's safety adviser.

Legislation on safety advisers is laid down by Government Decree 274/2002.

The safety adviser must have a certificate (road and/or rail) specific to the mode of transport proving that the person has the required expertise. The certificate is issued by the Finnish Transport Safety Agency (Traficom).

Review the legislation to find out of whether your company also needs to have a legally required security adviser to perform the tasks defined in the relevant decree.

Finland's Ministry of Transport and VR will start the negotiations for the new passenger rail services after 2020, as the currently contract for rail transport service operation and the decision on rail transport services under public service obligation will expire in December 2020.

Although the discussions are only just beginning, the next purchase service package will include at least the current supply of train services. The decisions will be made later this year.

The Ministry is spending EUR 30 million under the rail transport service contract with VR, consisting mainly of Southern Finland's regional rail services on the Sm2 and Sm4 trains and rail bus services on quieter long-distance routes.

In addition, VR operates unprofitable traffic in accordance with the service obligation, including regular night-time traffic in Lapland. The acquisition of passenger rail services complements VR's market-based supply, which accounts for the majority of rail transport.

The contract to be negotiated will simplify the contract arrangement and improve the quantity and quality of services.

Transport of dangerous goods by rail in Western traffic

Traffic between Finland and other countries that have acceded to the Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail (COTIF) is subject to the RID regulations. The RID regulations have been the basis for drafting Finland's national rail transport regulations. Finland's internal regulations are stricter only with regard to the frost resistance of the structural material of tank wagons, tank containers and plastic containers. The other provisions are consistent.
