Safety - our number one priority

Safety is one of Hupac’s major priorities. The company aims at carrying out a safe and reliable transportation system, ensuring maximum safety in all its fields of activity.

 

Safety objectives

Our main safety objectives relate to the prevention of accidents in terminals and on the railway lines, the integrity of load units and smooth operation of the wagon fleet.

 

Compliance with legislation

Hupac conforms to the statutory safety provisions; if necessary, the company voluntarily implements additional measures.

 

Active management

Hupac makes available the instruments, resources and processes needed to guarantee an adequate system for safety management.

 

Focus on prevention

Hupac supports every initiative aimed at preventing safety-relevant disruptions or accidents.

 

Adequate training

Hupac's employees are adequately trained allowing them to perform their functions conscientiously and responsibly.

 

Dangerous goods

Hupac has put in place a centralised service specifically dedicated to this kind of transport, headed by a Dangerous Goods compliance advisor, appointed and trained according to the provisions of Directive 96/35/CE. 

 

Monitoring and improvement

Hupac regularly verifies the safety level in the company to identify any shortcomings and intervening in critical situations. Monitoring and controlling provide the basis for the continuous improvement process.

 

Teamwork

Safety is the result of teamwork involving collaborators, partners, customers and supervisory authorities. Hupac promotes an open, constructive dialog and supports awareness and motivation of all individuals, with the objective of creating an effective safety culture.

Terminal Busto Arsizio-Gallarate: solutions for traffic management in the Malpensa airport area

From 27 July to 26 October the Milano Linate ariport will be closed for important infrastructure works. This will involve the transfer of air and  passenger traffic to the Milano Malpensa airport. A strong increase in road traffic on the highway SS336  is expected. This will have important repercussions in the area of Busto Arsizio-Gallarate.

Quick pick-ups - even at night
To limit the impact on the access viability to the terminal Busto Arsizio-Gallarate, we suggest to privilege the pick-up operations in the following time slots:

  • night slot, between 20:00 and 05:30 - also taking advantage of the economic benefits offered by the bonus-malus system
  • morning slot, between 09:00 and 11:00
  • afternoon slot, between 14:30 and 16:30.


This helps to relieve traffic congestion and keep waiting times stable.

Terminal entry/exit portals
Hupac also helps to speed up traffic. We are installing a system for the automatic collection of data on vehicles entering and leaving the Busto Arsizio-Gallarate terminal using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology.  This simplifies processes and ensures faster loading/unloading times for the units.

The attached instruction explains the new process for drivers.
