RZD President Vladimir Yakunin: Safety is always the company’s top priority

December 03 2009

“The company always prioritizes safety issues. This applies to track maintenance, engineering structures, and rolling stock. However, the protection of railway transport from illegal interference is the work of the security services”, RZD President Vladimir Yakunin told journalists today.

The president of RZD said the company will conduct an audit of security equipment and issue additional instructions to train and locomotive staff.

Vladimir Yakunin said the explosion on Nevsky Express passenger train No. 166 must serve as a reminder to society, the government, and law enforcement that the task of providing security on trains should be considered in all its aspects, not focusing exclusively on the terrorist threat.

“The company has stressed many times that the laws currently in force are not adequate to overcome the threats that Russian Railways encounters in its everyday work. Therefore, it is very important to consider a draft law on harsher punishment for interference in the activities of railway transport,” Yakunin said.
