ABSTRACT:
Preparing and using of main requirement and equipments to protect of passengers and national
capitals in critical situation are main purpose of metro managers .derailing of trains, train incidents,
fire occurring, suicide, are general problem in Tunnel and subway stations therefore Metro stations
must have modern safety and security equipments also role of construction problem related to safety
in tunnel and tunnel stability are discussed. This paper explains about the most important factors of
metro tunnels safety and importance of Safety and security to improve the more comfortable services
in metro tunnel and subway stations.

Key words: Tunnel safety, Tunnel security, Tunnel stability, Risk Management.
INTRODUCTION:
education is the most important and most effective way to achieve the objectives of an organization
determined plan and almost "can not be successful without the existence of these measures was
submitted. Rail transport systems within the urban specific conditions, maximum safety special travel
arrangements for the implementation of activities require. Study the effect of helping to train
passengers unusual and will raise the health, safety Environmental threaten, under the guidance and
help train staff for the best decision possible.
WHAT IS SAFTY MAMNAGMENT SYSTEM?
