Risk Management in Selected Public Passenger Transport During a Pandemic

The work concerns the important issue of the risk of contracting the COVID-19 infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in selected means of transport. Coronavirus, the risk of infection with it, and methods to limit its spread, are the main topic of almost every media every day. Therefore, it is important to raise the topic of occupational risk both at the workplaces serving selected means of passenger transport and the risk of infection for travelers. In the study, an attempt was made to assess the risk of being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus at the service workplaces of selected means of passenger transport and among passengers of these means of transport using the Risk Score method. The research was conducted based on data resulting from generally accepted procedures in selected means of passenger transport and on the basis of expert interviews. It has been proven that properly organized and implemented protective measures can reduce the risk of contracting coronavirus.
