Emerging Risks Proposed for Work Agenda of the Romanian Technology Platform on Industrial Safety

Abstract

At European level one constitutes thirty technological platforms in order to realize and implement jointly strategic research agenda, on medium and long term, on certain domains. The European Technological Platform on Industrial Safety (ETPIS) is one of these. Industrial production and transport of raw materials and finished products are considered industrial activities. Romania is the seventh European country that created similar national platform, the Romanian Technological Platform on Industrial Safety (RTPIS). National R&D Institute for Cryogenics and Isotopic Technologies - ICIT Rm. Valcea is an active member of the Romanian and European Platform on Industrial Safety. The paper presents emerging risks proposed for the work agenda of the Romanian Technological Platform on Industrial Safety. These are: old/aged industrial plants, labour force quality, large scale biofuel production and using, increasing climate changes and freightage intensification on the Danube.
