EN In risk management in railway transport, standard risk models are usually used based on its typical definition and discrete quantification. This approach allows for easy justification of the adopted model, most often by referring to appropriate norms or standards (such as IRIS). The scientific approach does not disqualify the practical use of standard risk models, but its disadvantages (especially typical risk matrices, including their subjectivity) are increasingly being pointed out. In risk management procedures, most frequently one model is used to assess the risk of all identified hazards. This may turn out to be a mistake, considering the specific characteristics of the hazards. A risk model applied to one hazard may not be adequate to assess the risk of another. Therefore, it should be individually adapted both in terms of variables and the ranges of their measurement values. For some hazards, it will even be necessary to develop or adopt nonstandard models. The aim of the article is to present non-standard risk models that provide a base for their easy implementation in safety management procedures used by railway entities.
