Original Title:
Τεχνολογικά ατυχήματα που εκδηλώνονται λόγω της οδικής μεταφοράς επικίνδυνων ουσιών. Ο ρόλος της Ελληνικής Αστυνομίας στην πρόληψη και την αντιμετώπισή τους.
Translated title:
Technological accidents that are caused while dangerous substances are being transferred. The role of the Hellenic Police on preventing and reacting these accidents.
Summary:
The use of technology that is most needed by people in advanced societies can, in case of accidents or failures, have disastrous consequences for society itself. One category of such accidents are those that occur during the transport of dangerous substances by road. Because they usually take place along the highways, near urban centers and away from the protected environment of an installation, their impact on societies is particularly adverse. Appropriate government mechanisms have therefore been developed to prevent or limit the impact of their occurrence.
In this master thesis is examined the role of the Hellenic Police on preventing and reacting these accidents. Initially, the legal framework for road transport in Greece and the ADR Agreement, which establishes the rules for the transport of dangerous substances internationally, at European level, are presented. In the area of prevention, the role of Traffic Police is presented and in particular, the ways of carrying out checks on ADR vehicles. Furthermore, is examined the utility of the e-tool PROTEAS ADR CONTROL for the Traffic Police. In dealing with accidents, the role of the first police correspondents, namely DIAS teams (police officers patrolling by bikes), "Z" team and patrol vehicles, in combination with their cooperation with the Fire Service, is analyzed. In addition, it describes the possible impacts of these accidents on humans, and then analyzes several major technological accidents that have occurred worldwide. In addition, two road accident scenarios are developed in the Attica city, using the hazard modeling program ALOHA. Finally, a graphical questionnaire survey with the participation of DIAS police officers patrolling on the North East Attica is presented and examines the level of knowledge they have about ADR vehicles and their ways of responding should they need to deal with a potential accident involving such vehicles.
