Abstract

The main purpose of the paper is to assess the risk associated with the transport of hazardous materials. This goal was achieved by discussing theoretical information on this issue and the results of control of the transport of dangerous goods carried out by the Provincial Road Transport Inspectorate in Poznań in 2015-2017. The analysis showed that the scale of irregularities in the protection of dangerous goods transported, documentation and transport operations was very small. However, other violations were found relatively frequently. Nevertheless, both the total number of infringements found as well as their frequency were low. In relation to the above, it can be stated that the level of risk associated with the transport of hazardous materials in the Wielkopolskie Voivodship in the years 2015-2017 was very small, although the analysis allowed identification of certain areas requiring further improvement.
