  • Public safety around the dams in Slovenia [Elektronski vir]
    Humar, Nina, gradbeništvo, 1975- ; Kryžanowski, Andrej
    Until recently, public safety has been a rather neglected topic in Slovenia. To ensure public safety, safety-aware companies have used the existing legislation governing the provision of safety in ... construction sites and on identified bathing waters. As in Slovenia, water and waterside land (watercourses, water bodies) is mostly characterised as public asset, there was, in general, a lack of legislative basis that would enable the managers to restrict movement and activities in the areas lying within close proximity to dams. However, the accident at the Blanca HPP and the recent review of the state of water management works in Slovenia have shown the necessity of dedicating more attention to the problem of public safety and public awareness. As an upgrade of the analysis of the current state and instructions for improvement of public awareness and emergency procedures for the population, an on-line presentation of dams, their characteristics and problems associated with their existence, which also touched upon the problems originating from insufficient maintenance, problems and risks caused by improper operation, exploitation of the dams and the reservoir area was prepared for the Ministry of Defence. The paper presents the current situation of public safety in Slovenia and searches for the opportunities to make a better use of the existing legislation and for rapid actions that could contribute to improve the situation in this area.
