Safety and Quality
Always excellent. Always safe. - That is our mission! Captrain Deutschland provides all logistics services with high quality and safety. Our locomotives not only look green - they also run ‘green’. European rail freight transport generates only a fraction of the CO2 emissions of road freight transport by lorry. But here, too, our wheels do not stand still. We are regularly put through our paces by external experts in the various areas of the company - and we even have this in black and white!
The Group-wide ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001 certifications underline our commitment to excellent quality management, a high level of occupational safety and efficient energy management. The certificates of the subsidiaries and affiliated companies of the Captrain Deutschland Group can be found on the respective company pages.
Occupational health and safety
The health and safety of our employees is our greatest asset. It is important to recognise hazards at an early stage and take preventative measures. To this end, the companies of the Captrain Deutschland Group have a management system for health and safety in accordance with ISO 45001 in order to continuously improve occupational health and safety. In addition, Dortmunder Eisenbahn GmbH and Hansebahn Bremen GmbH have been certified as having an ‘AMS - Systematic Occupational Health and Safety’ by the statutory accident insurance organisation VBG.
ISO 9001
The Captrain Deutschland Group is subject to an annual audit in accordance with the internationally recognised quality management system, ISO 9001, during which we externally demonstrate that quality determines our thoughts and actions in every sub-process. Our process and systems-focused approach meets our objective of continuous development and improvement.
SQAS
Captrain is qualified and experienced in the handling of everything from chemicals, through mineral oil products, to residues in need of monitoring and other explosive goods. Our companies, Dortmunder Eisenbahn GmbH, ITL Eisenbahngesellschaft mbH and Captrain Deutschland CargoWest GmbH, have successfully completed the SQAS Assessment recognised throughout Europe. SQAS (Safety and Quality Assessment System) requires that transport companies – especially those serving the chemical industry – undergo regular and consistent safety, quality and environmental sustainability assessments by independent external experts.
ECM
The safety of 'rolling stock' is another priority for Captrain Deutschland. Captrain Deutschland GmbH is recognised as an assessment body in accordance with §5 Para. 1d Sentence 1 No. 2 General Railway Act. The workshops of Dortmunder Eisenbahn GmbH, Hansebahn Bremen GmbH and ITL Eisenbahngesellschaft mbH hold freight wagon maintenance certificates (ECM IV) in accordance with EU Directive 445/2011 of 10 May 2011 (ECM-VO). In addition, Dortmunder Eisenbahn and ITL Eisenbahngesellschaft have been certified as Entities in Charge of Maintenance – ECM and therefore meet all the requirements to ensure the safe operational condition of freight wagons.
Energy
The continuous increase of energy efficiency as well as the minimization of energy use are an essential part of our operational activities. For this purpose, the companies of the Captrain Deutschland Group have established a certified energy management system in accordance with DIN EN ISO 50001.
