Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
Since railways represent a highly vulnerable public space to Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and explosive (CBRNe) attacks,
railway companies urgently need to improve their preparedness and security levels against CBRNe threats. This project aims to enhance
awareness and capabilities of railway critical infrastructure operators to effectively respond to CBRNe emergencies at railway stations
by improving their CBRNe security plans and training railway staff. The core methodology is based on the active involvement of railway
companies, Law Enforcement Agencies and First Responders in the co-design and implementation of all project activities. The project
will also adapt key results of recent EU- and NATO-funded CBRNe projects to the specific constraints of railway infrastructure and needs
of railway sector. Surveys, on-site expert field visits and workshops will be used to co-create and validate an effective railway CBRNe
security concept. This will include security-by-design and will result in an actionable guideline for railway end-users. Next, a harmonised
CBRNe training programme for the railway sector and for better cooperation with the involved First Responders will be designed and
delivered in a controlled environment to railway staff coming from companies from at least 4 different Member States. The programme
will include a theoretical module, innovative virtual reality training and practical sessions. Further, at least 4 in-situ training exercises will
be organised by the same railway companies in four different countries to apply their staff’s knowledge and skills in simulated incidents
at railway stations. The project will develop a set of key exploitable results which will go beyond the implemented training activities, and
which will enhance the preparedness and protection capabilities of the railway sector against CBRNe threats. Exploitation activities will
also include the certification of the training programme to ensure sustainability and pave the way for enlarging the number of railway
companies receiving certified training. The project webpage will be: cbrne4rail.eu
