Railway Safety in Estonia - 25 - Annual Report 2011
Eastern Prefecture
Railway safety has always been considered important in
the territory of our prefecture. Although railway accidents
do not happen often, their consequences are usually very
serious.
OLE and our prefecture have organised for three
consecutive years in Lääne Viru County a railway safety
creativity contest for raising public awareness about the
dangers present on railways and reducing the number
of railway related fatalities. The contest was meant for
creative works in video, picture, word or sound format.
Last year the pupils took their task very seriously and
presented to the contest 115 projects.

In the Eastern Prefecture railway safety matters are
taken care by Annela Floren, Senior Superintendant of
Prevention Service. Both her and Olga Boitsov, Specialist
of the Estonian Health Promotion Association agreed that
such a contest is highly necessary and it will take place
also in the future.
“We consider railway safety promotion extremely important
and we are grateful to OLE that has taken time, made an
effort and contributed to railway safety prevention work.”
