Safety Intelligence Teams
Safety performance is analysed and reported by two intelligence teams
within Risk and Safety Intelligence. The roles of the two teams and examples
of the outputs they produce are described below.
Safety Intelligence Strategy Team
The responsibilities of the Safety Intelligence Strategy Team include
the identification of new or emerging risk issues, the production of
safety performance reports, and data development.
On the report production side, a major responsibility is the production
of the Annual Safety Performance Report. In achieving this, and in
the production of all other safety performance reports, the team works
closely
with the safety intelligence delivery team.
We manage the development of the Safety Intelligence Centre (SIC),
which is a searchable database of textual safety-related documents.
The SIC
can be used to provide primary and supplementary text based information
on railway issues, and can help identify where more detailed statistical
analysis is warranted.
On the data development side, the team is responsible for enhancing
the quality of railway safety intelligence by capturing data from a
wider
range of sources so that users of safety data can gain access to relevant
safety information quickly and efficiently.
Safety Intelligence
Delivery Team
The main role of the Safety Intelligence Delivery Team is to analyse
safety performance data and to monitor railway wide safety risk,
ensuring that both RSSB and the industry are aware of the contributors
to risk
and any changes to them. This is achieved by using a number of data
sources, the main one being the Safety Management
Information System (SMIS). This
includes checking for errors by working with other industry bodies,
analysing the data and then reporting the results via safety performance
reports.
The team also responds to data requests from both RSSB and the industry
and provides statistics to European bodies.
