Public Safety The focus of public safety is the protection of employees and customers from criminal actions. Numerous measures have been and continue to be taken to minimise or counteract the risk factors. In addition, the general conditions have intensified due to the threats on a global scale. Newly designed de-escalation training courses were organised across the board to reduce the number of assaults on employees in trains and stations. A corresponding case-by-case assessment and analysis, combined with the implementation of specific measures after each reported assault, should also help to improve the situation in a more targeted manner. Equipping employees with bodycams has helped railway staff to feel subjectively better protected. Assaults on employees remained at a consistently high level in 2023 compared to the previous year. Measured against the significant increase in passenger numbers in the rail sector, however, they are declining in comparison. The number of assaults on customers remains at a low level. The security of railway stations and ÖBB properties is also a focus of public safety. The Group-wide “Physical Security” policy has led to the implementation of numerous measures to further significantly increase property security. Stricter access controls, security-related structural requirements and a risk-based security classification of all ÖBB facilities, objects and buildings are also intended to increase the general level of security.
