Safety
Italo’s commitment to passenger safety
Italo works to guarantee passenger safety through regular monitoring and management of technologies, human resources and organisation.
Italo has been the first rail company in the world to install Hepa (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters on its trains. Before installing the filters, the company worked with health and rail transportation expert such as Politecnico di Milano and San Raffaele Scientific Hospitalization and Treatment Institute.
Hepa filters are the most innovative solution to improve air change on trains with great advantages in reducing particulate and aerosol.
Italo has been recognised as best-in-class in terms of safety also due to Hepa filters that guarantee regular and complete air change in each wagon. Filtered airflow is mixed with external air, thus generating fresh air every 3 minutes.
Italo has also been the first rail operator in Italy, and among the first in Europe, to have AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) on their trains since 2016. Nowadays, all our trains have two defibrillators and the same goes for ticket offices, lounges and all Italo worksites. This has allowed us over the years to save many passengers both on board and at stations, with the help and fast intervention of Italo staff, duly trained in first aid operations.
