Abstract
The modern era, alongside with the very fast development of technology rise challenging threats to human establishments. A large number of industrial processes include the usage of substances that present themselves as dangerous for life. Therefore, one is obliged to look into ways of reducing the risk of accidents that could affect the population surrounding the industrial sites. Given the fact that Romania has signed the “Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction”, risk other than attack remains the main threat in the field. The article is aimed at studying what is considered to be the most vulnerable process – transportation of hazardous substances.
